All you Nikon representers stand up and claim your Nikon pimp club membership! Doesnt matter if its a DSLR or a Point and Shoot, we want YOU *points finger* to join the Nikon Pimp Club*! *and Coalition against Canon! :hihi:

Figured this would make for a good Nikon thread in general as well, where we can share tips, info, ask questions, etc that are specific to Nikon cameras and the Nikon brand...

So go on and claim your membership number! I'm starting it at #001 with myself, and the membership number will go in order based on whoever joins next! Let me know if you want to join by posting in the thread, and I'll add you in!

Oh yeah and don't forget, Nikon rules, Canon drools! :icon_lol: :icon_wink

I'm in! I Love my Nikon. My daughter is an amazing photographer and I bought her a Nikon D3000 a year ago for Christmas. The minute it got here, I ordered my D5000!:)
I believe i am #087.

D7000 + Nikkor 24-70 2.8
Not sure if you wanted to join, but don't want you to be left out, so here's a number anyway! :D #088!
Just got my D5100, can't wait to take pics!!
Awesome! You can be #089 :)

Just bought my D5100, loving it so far!
Sweet, you can be #090!

count me in baby
Great! You can be #091!

Haha sweet. I have a d7000
Sweet! You can be #092!

Guess I'm out of the club now. Unless having Nikon lenses is enough for me to maintain membership.
You can still be in the club :) I don't have any Nikon cameras or lenses anymore, and I'm still in! :hihi:

Heeeey! You are all the awesome people to ask, I'm looking at getting a Nikon dslr on the lower end of the price range. Going to use my tax check for it so I figured I'd start research now. I own a Kodak advanced point and shoot now (the step between dslr and p&s) I have never owned a dslr :-(

I DID however learn how to shoot a film slr, and develop my own film. I MISS film cameras, and i really miss having the power of a slr in my hands. I'm really big on nature photography
To not totally muck up your thread just pm me some things I should look out for.

I'm broke as a joke lol so LOWER priced cameras (under 700$ and as close to $500 as possible lol) I don't really know what's out there so a point in the right direction would be great, so after taxes i can join your club! Lol

In that price range you can get a used d5100, D300, D3100, D2x, and more. There are lots of choices to be made. However if you have any m42, m39, etc lens mounts that you might want to use on the Nikon body beware. Nikon is the most incompatible body for those type of older lens. The Nikon flange focal distance is too great of all DSLRs out there. A Sony body or Canon would be better in that regards. If not then a Nikon would work.

Check out the Tamron 90mm macro (this is what I have), the Tokina 100mm macro, the Nikkor 60mm micro, or the Nikkor 105mm micro for some decently priced lenses.

For flash, you can't go wrong with the SB600 for a beginner flash. Really, it's good enough that it will work for you even as you advance into photography. It's just a good workhorse flash unit. There's some third party stuff out there too that seems to work well, I'm just not familiar.

I never use flash in tank shots.
Kills the natural lighting and white balance that you see with your eyes.
The tamron 90mm mentioned above is the best value in a macro lens. All the image quality of the nikkor 105, minus the VR and $400 cheaper.
