I started my photography career with a Nikon D70. I bought one after my vacation to Costa Rica. You read it right after my vacation, normal people just do that before they go to such countries, but I did it after.

To be hounest I wasn't that crazy about photography in that days, I just liked making pictures, but that was it.

But when I came back from that vacation (it was also my honeymoon), I was so dissapointed in the pictures we made with the point and shoot camera, that I immediately ran to the store and bought a reflexcamera, the D70. That was in the beginning of 2004.

I started to like making photo's more and more, but it was all in Automatic. So when I decided to do a photography course in april 2007, I became so enthousiastic, that I bought a Nikon D200.

And then Nikon announced the D300. I only had my D200 7 months, so why buy a new camera......, I decided not to buy one.

In the meantime two people from my photography course bought a D300.

The results were great. Beautiful colours and very sharp.

My doubts came back. And after I was invited to try it one day, I was gone.

So I bought one two weeks ago. What a nice camera. I still use the D200 for one of my assignments. But after that I think it will only be my backup camera.............

I also bought the af-s 24-70, but i'm still waiting for that lens.
