We have a Flattie mix, but he is just the best.  Puppy to the end.  He's almost ten now and he is a joy.  Great picture!!!!

At this point in time, I only have one lens.  I need a 67 mm.  If I get another size Lens, I'll figure it out when I get there. :-)Mike

Wow!  Thank you for that!  I'm sure I'll be back in HI at some point.  We send a crew out there every six months.  My next scheduled trip is to Riverside, CA in a couple weeks and Anchorage in...

Yeah, I've since changed that.  I decided to save in JPG because I only had one card but I've since invested in a second card so I've changed it to NEF.  I have LR4 and am learning to use...

:-)  I think I'm going to get the Hoya.  It's at that the mid point in the scale and I've not read anything negative about it. Thanks!Mike

I've had my D7000 now for about 3 weeks,  4 days after I got it, I was on my way to an unexpected week long business trip to Hawaii.  It's a rough job, but someone has to do it.  In any case, since...

Thanks for these.  That went along way toward explaining.  Mike

Actually not so much.  Mako2011 (the Mod) really explained in some detail the feature.  The answers so far, from the simplest to the more complex were all saying the same.  It;s a feature I will be...

Mount Rainier I tried it out today and it seemed to really make a difference.Thanks for all your replies!Mike

Thank you for your response.  I'll have to try that out...if the sun ever comes back to the Pacific Northwest!Mike

Wow!  Thanks for the short course!  A lot of meat there to digest.  I'm going to copy it into a word file and re read it a few times to digest it!  I've been using Lightroom 4 and PSE9 to process...

Does anyone use this feature and if so, what is the most common setting?  How is it best used or should I use it at all?Mike

That's a given!

You are probably right!  :-)Mike

Thank you so much for the links!  The few photos I took so far seem to be as sharp as I'd hoped.  I don't see any evidence of the back focus problem so far. It's hard to wait for it to arrive and...

The D7000 arrived today. I've crossed the "bridge".Now, I've got so much to learn. May even have to invest in a class or two.Mike

Thanks for the advise. I'll have to live with it for awhile. Another lens is gonna have to wait for awhile. :)Mike

Hi Wayne, Congrats to you as well!  I ordered mine through the Army and Air Force Exchange Service with the 18-105 lens.  Like you, I'll add other lenses as I go along and learn. it was the same...

I've been lurking around for a couple of months.  My trusty Nikon P90 bit the dust the other day and I've been drooling over the D7000 for awhile now.  I decided to just take the plunge and buy...
