I had a a few different books from her on understanding photography. one was the nikon book. thats what got me locked in.2. knowing what you know now would you make a switch to another brand back then ? ( a bit of a back to the future type question haha)As for many doing so would at this stage would simply be to costly.No, I dont think I would. I think itd still be nikon. I used to be a hardcore nikon loyalist. I even wore different nikon lapel pins on my shooting vest. but the last few years, Ive lost passion for the company. I think they are not the same as they used to be. they dont have the same vision as I knew they had. too costly now to move over. I am keeping my eye on sony though but they are not as developed as nikon with choices.I remember the 110mm long pocket cameras and asked my mom to buy me one. I got it for my birthday after months of waiting. I was 7 or so. 3 months later they broke into our house and it was stolen. that was the bronx. not the safest place in the world. I was crushed for so long. I finally got a cmaera and it was stolen. I remember how I would walk around with the eyepiece to my eye and composing pictures but never clicking the shutter because I didnt want to waste the frames. I also enjoyed firing the flash button. it had a built in flash but I think it had the notch on top for disposable flash tubes. </blockquote>
