I did a few rolls in college when my friend bought a projector, Stop for five years. Then I bought a Russian SLR - Zenit in 1980's, followed by Zenit Photosniper, when I was in Iraq in 89-90. The meter gave way in five years and photography slowly tapered off. Again in early 2000 my son got the Nikon F70, followed by D70 followed by D300, so photography picked up some what.When Cell phones came with a 1MP camera, I quit film and got on to digital. 1MP followed by 2MP followed by 5MP. In all I shot a lot of work related photographs with the phones - over 100,000. Once in a while I would use the D70 or the D300, but they were heavy and I preferred my cell phone for professional work. This year I decided to go back to SLR, and as we had a few lenses got the D3300 within a week of its release here, in March. I must say that I am hooked on to the D3300 and in six months have managed to have 13,000 shutter clicks. Mind you all the D3300 images are for my recreation. When I was using cell phone for professional work, I would take at least 150 and times 200+ images each day of inspection. My work was project monitoring of road construction initially and later under construction buildings - plenty of scope to find mistakes and highlight them; for rectification; in reports.</blockquote>
