the polish leaves too much residual.. didn't like it too much. Got a Nikon D70 as a gift for my parents for our wedding anniversary.. They said a friend said that was a good camera and they bought 2.. I know nothing outside of point and shoot.. camera rookie.. I still need to RTFM too!! LOL

good start. Nice camera. Fooking expensive hobby (as md would say) and takes time to learn but once you know the basics you start enjoying it. Lots of info available on the web. Start with reading stuff on framing and no not everything centered looks great. .

Take lots and lots of pictures, birds, peoples, pets, stupid things around your house. Resize them and post it for us to see.
