touched I Nikkon.

We were at the birthday party for a friend of our daughter. And her mother complained that her pictures were coming out too dark. So I picked up her camera (P&S) and found that she had the exposure compensation set to -2. It was a Nikkon CoolPix. I will make sure to apologize properly to my XT tonight.

I had an old Nikon Coolpix 995, and shot a few thousand pictures with it back in 2001-2003. It was a nice little camera.

Yeah I know - blasphemy! :lol:

Blasphemers. I only own Canon.

OKAY! I do have a Pentax SLR that's been at my parent's house for probably 10 years. I still think of her fondly, and someday...

We brought a Nikon 35mm film camera after my husband dropped his beloved old pentax and I don't know why (possibly crap lenses) but I don't think we ever got a decent photo.
I actually talked him out of getting a Canon digital SLR at the time - WHAT was I thinking!!

Funny, I used a pentax for about 9 years then I finally moved up to a Nikon, couldn't come to terms with it ( I all but gave up Photography) and it wasn't till another 8 years had passed and a 20d found its way into my hands, and away I went.
