Thanks for all the great shots! I have enjoyed looking at all the different pics and getting lots of ideas for our upcoming cruise. I am in the market for a new digital SLR camera and need some help from you fellow disers please! First of all, this will be my first "real" camera, as I have only used point and shoots in the past. I am having trouble deciding which camera to go with. I had decided on the Nikon d3100, but when I researched further, I found that it did not have the bracketing feature. I have seen some really cool pics on this site which were taken using this feature. So...do I need it to get those cool shots, or can they be obtained with the in-camera editing? Please note that I am a true beginner in photography and am trying to learn all I can and with that being said, please help!! Thanks so much!!

The D3100 is a great camera. You most certainly wouldn't wrong with choosing it. If it's the HDR look you want then it can be obtained in post processing by many different programs. My camera will bracket though I rarely use it. If bracketing is really important then I would suggest the D5000. A step up from there is the D90 which has come way down in price right now due the the release of the new D7000. Also the the D90 has the focus motor built into the body as the D5000 does not.

I would also suggest not doing your editing in the camera. Buy a program and do it on your comp. You will achieve much better results. Just remember once you head down the path of purchasing a DSLR it can get very expensive, speaking from experience....lol

Hope this helps...

Thanks Dave! Your pics are some of the ones I was referring to in my post! I always love looking at your daily pics. Thanks for the tip on editing also.

I recently bought a Nikon D3100. There is much to learn but I am really enjoying having it. Now I just need to figure out how to save the money for another Cruise. Guess I can use the time I am land locked to learn how to take pictures like Dave. LOL

I wonder if he would give us lessons?! Glad you are enjoying the camera...I'm still leaning that way.

Thank you!!

And just a note for you, none of my shots that I have posted here were taken using hdr or "bracketing" They were done in post processing. I just make sure I get the shot and look I want to achieve and then tweak things on the comp after the fact. It's the initial shot that is important. Get that first then the adjusting comes easy. Some you may not have to tweaked at all.
