I highly recommend Nikon - easy to use menus and great lenses. The new version of my camera (the D90) will probably be announced in 1-2 months with a lot better low-light performance, maybe called D95? Who knows. It's really important to learn how to use the camera right, otherwise you end up like lots of tourists who have $5000 of gear and still take bad shots, always with flash. If you lived in Munich I'd suggest my photo tour at http://guidedmunich.com ;-) Hehe I actually had trouble taking pictures of kiwis in Rotorua with my 18-200mm lens, but it might have been possible with the 35mm f/2 (which is a very wide opening and lets in a lot of light).

You know I'm on search of an SLR cam. I won't be able to take this kind of photos with my tiny one. A few months ago I went to the Auckland zoo, and tried to take picture of kiwis ( I mean the bird, not the people or fruit). It was in nocturnal room under very dim red light. They were moving constantly. The movement and the dim red light were not a good combo for my tiny cam. (obviously flash was prohibited) In the end, I got some shots that kinda show that it's a kiwi. A camera like yours though, will have no problem handling the situation. .-= Dina´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.vagabondquest.com/greece/greek-island-santorin/" rel="nofollow">A Taste of the Greek Islands- a Day in Santorini</a> =-.
