Craig, yeah you have the point there. Um, I don't know what to say, thanks.

and Suzie, thanks for liking it. To admit, I dun think I have the skills, i was just lucky to shoot that one. I'm still stress trying to learn some of the features available. Like aperture, focus, manual etc.

I might be taking this camera for a trip soon. But on the other hand, I feel concern losing it or damaging it. Should i get a less nicer one? I mean buy a less nicer one to carry around for rough event.

hmm, Thanks R_T, actually what's your real name? Hendrick?

I still contemplating, cuz there's 16 of us, and we might get really busy having fun....and it's still new, I just might risk acting like a dummie with new camera....etc

Don't take it. You are just learning how to use it and i don't think you know what you are doing with it yet. Is there any point taking the chance and losing something as valuable and important like this?

In regards to you "stressing" how to learn everything, don't rush it! who are you trying to impress? what are you hoping to get from the photography? i don't really understand why you would be worrying about improving as quickly as you appear to be.

I take your words, not just because I take it, because it is very reasonable of you. Thanks, Sb.

I'm not taking itto the trip....

I'm trying to impress everyone, I'm trying to gather some good looking human to take portrait pics.

And also some other pics, still objects, sunrise, sunset moving objects and etc.

hmm, can someone write a tutorial, maybe ?

What kind of tutorial would you like?

When to use and Not to use field in depth, and Differences between Aperture and Field in Depth, and What exactly is focus? How does it be different with Aperture or field in depth. And Should I use manual function or Auto? When should I use manual? And also, the lens setting, Auto/Manual VS Camera setting Auto/Manual, Why is that???

Finally, If i want to be more to a portrait photographer, Do i still take still pics? What way should I be trained?

AnD mistakes I should avoid using D80...

i'm still thinking...Craig, Thanks 1 billion times.
