Wow, this is such a perfect photo. You could frame this one or make a card out of it. I have never seen anything like this before. The color is gorgeous and the tree in the background just makes this photo. FAV
I have a question for you. My cousins wife is selling her Nikon D5000 with the 18-55mm lens, books, macro filters, a camera bag and other miscellaneous stuff. I loved the Nikon I had for a short time but it overheated on me. Bought the D3200 or D3100 and then bought the Sony a6000. I am having a time getting used to it and using it. I plan to sell it. I miss the simplicity of the Nikon. What do you think as you have close to it in the camera you use? Thank you ahead of time for your input. I have to buy some type of zoom and charger and battery as she is buying another Nikon, up the scale.
@darsphotos Darlene, I've been very disappointed in my last two Nikons. The lenses have been great but the cameras have malfunctioned. The D-60 was awful and my relatively new D-5100 has a problem with a malfunctioning auto focus, a critical feature for me. I will look into either a Sony or Panasonic LUMIX for my next camera. You can go to Cnet and read all their camera reviews. Hope this helps!
@congaree John, thank you for the information I called the Nikon I bought before this Sony a lemon as it overheated just taking photos and not many. I have auto focus problems too especially in the low light though I have not tried all the settings and have looked at a lot to you tube videos as well to help me. We all need focus for sure and good focus. When I try to get closeup focus I cannot. Think I need to work with it more. My son had a knack to work through things so may have him work with it a bit and see before I bail on it. I miss Zoom that I had on my bridge Sony. The screen on the back started getting really bad all by itself and then it slowed down in taking photos. I bought a Panasonic Lumix bridge camera that suddenly was giving me a hint of blue in every photo that would not go away. At the time the camera was also going down drastically in price at Costco, just happened to be there and see it. My son reset some of the settings and my husband has his first bridge camera and is dong ok with it. Which Sony would you go for? I will definitely check reviews on cnet. Thank you ever so much. I am sorry you have had problems with your Nikon cameras. I think so many things today are just not made well. Including house appliances and cars. We had to replace our 10 year old car in April and then our 18 year old water heater and 18 year old stove (both came with our house when it was built, track homes). Now our refrigerator is having problems and only almost 4 years old and almost out of warranty. One of the reasons I have slowed down taking photos as so much has happened and not easy to work with people so having to fight, so to speak to get things done and done right and honestly. Thank you again for your input. I will let you know if I decide to sell my sony or what I do. There is a lady on here that I follow and she was checking out cameras back a ways as she wanted a second camera. Not sure what she uses now and she is busy with family for the weekend so will not hear from her till likely next week and will let you know. She was getting input from so many and checking some out herself by renting them I believe.
