Good day to all of the Nikonites here. As the title suggests, I don't yet have a Nikon. What I do have is a Minolta SRT-102 35mm SLR Black Body with 55mm and 200mm lenses. I've joined the forum in hopes of learning a lot about the brand of my next camera. That would be a Nikon!

My Minolta SRT-102 camera ushered me into the photography hobby in 1975 and has served me well ever since. The only other camera that I've owned is part of my iPhone 7 and I didn't get a cellphone until Christmas 2016. Obviously, I don't like to rush out and buy the latest technologies. LOL

I'm looking forward to learning about the Nikon brand from you all. Cheers! Dave

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

The SRT102 was a great camera (I used an SRT101 at work during the 70's).

Welcome to Nikonites Dave. It will be interesting to see what Nikon you decide to go with. Hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome to the forum, Dave. I have the SRT101, at least I think I do. My Granddaughter borrowed it about 6 or 7 years ago and I haven't seen it since. Ha! I'm not sure if she has either. As has been mentioned, budget and type of photography you're interested in will be factors that will determine any recommendations from the group here.

Welcome to the forum. Two questions. First what is you budget? Second is what kind of photography don't you want to do?

Hi Don,

Let me gather my thoughts and then reply to you. Good questions to help me decide which camera body to start with.

So where in MD? If you want to session sometime I'd be happy to let you try my 600 and Df to help you figure what you want to get yourself. I'd personally, and depending on budget, actually suggest 71/7200 or Df for all the right reasons.
