I’ve been wanting to upgrade from the point and shoot camera to a DSLR (entry level at least) and finally managed to buy one a few days ago - A Nikon D5000. Being denial for a few years that my point and shoot camera can achieves what a DSLR can do(I photoshop alot) but on the day I’ve got my hands on it, I was totally blown away! It was like having a new sets of color or brushes to paint on a bigger canvas!
I don’t have time to go out and put on extensive tests with the camera yet but here’s a few shots I that I did so far. All pictures below were taken using 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens (kit lens) – since this is the only lens I’ve got for now, I don’t expect to achieve the best results from these tests. None of these images were photoshopped.
