Thanks for that Filipe, btw, was reading some reviews on the d90 and one reviewer only gave it a 8 out of 10, even after saying it was brilliant, but the fault was, it didn't explain how to fit the strap to the camera in the manual. How hard can it be lol.

LOL that was funny. That said, there are a few ways to go about it, and even Nikon seem to show it differently in different camera manuals... go figure!

The instructions to fit the strap on mine confused me (funny that eh??) and I ended up just working it out myself!

LOL

Bring it around when you finally decide to come and visit and I'll fit it correctly for you

I found mine was a pain to fit until i figured it out, but i didnt read the manual to be fair, im a bloke

Oh eck!

I didn't read the manual. Probably explains why the camera faces forward rather than down when I hang it on the wok ------ look like a Tellytubby Dalek.

Yeh, it's supposed to face forward....

So when i get the camera should i start with fitting the strap rather than learning to use it? is it takes longer??!!

oh and also, that is really good gelp on the lens front. I think i will end up saving up for the 70-300, it looks to be much more value for money. As i was saying to the mate the other day, if you want a camera to be able to take photo's in every scinario, up close when out at a party, a good landscape, or a close up of a flower without carrying other lenses and needing to change them.........get a compact!!! i dont really see why people spend all the money on an SLR and then treat it as a compact.....surley that is not what they are designed for, IMO


Compact = everyday shots of anything to take and then put on the computer only to be looked at once in a blue moon.

SLR = spend time and get the one in a million shot that you can hang on the wall, or if your really lucky sell to pay off some of the credit card that you used to buy all the lenses etc!!!
