I have had this little beauty for about 6 months(bought it at Best Buy, great deal) and have shot several hundred picts. I also bought the SB 900 flash at the same time & I am still learning to operate both and as usual, make a lot of errors. The pictures are fantastic @ 12+ mp and the menues are almost self explanitory. The user manual could be better written, I down loaded a more complete one from the internet, quite a job. I create folders for each month, and downsize them(keep the full sized in a separate folder) and store them on an external HD. There are so many options that Its hard to remember what each is for and how to use them, hopefully with time and use that will clear up. My only wish(other than better understanding the manual & menues) is being able to place the date on a photo and not have to use another progam. In years to come it would be nice to look at a snow pict. with a date on the bottom and remember how much we had. I also have the 5000 and wish the features of each could compiled on one great camera without haveing to mortgage the ranch to buy it. All in all I think this a great camera and would recomend it to all. I started out with Nikon film cameras over 35 years ago and have upgraded periodically to finally these digitals. Nikon quality has lead the way. I wish I had these cameras years ago when our children were growing up.
