[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 776029, member: 26505"] Legacy. My Dad was an amateur photographer for decades until he turned pro after leaving engineering. I had never purchased a camera until my Dad was selling his D100, which I knew was in great condition. I had it for a while before I decided to actually learn stuff. It bit the dust, so I stuck with Nikon and got a used D300 then a D500. No regrets. I had a Polaroid when I was a kid, then I used my brother's Instamatic. Then my Dad bought me a Minolta 35mm when I was in junior high. I got a Sony Cybershot as a gift in the 90s. The D100 was the first camera I purchased. All others before were gifts. Now, I have what I call real-gear and finally understand what all the buttons are. There was a time that I though I would never figure all of that out. Still learning, though. ;). I need to go shoot before I forget what all the buttons are. Forgot about the D80. Dad had an extra one and gave it to me to tide me over after my D100 started acting up. I used it for a photography job. That little camera made me enough money to get the D500.:) [/QUOTE]
