Hi I've been using my D200 a bit now since buying it just before Christmas. While I'm very much a beginner and could probably benefit from a photography course I'm a bit disappointed with a lot of my photos. I set the camera up with the guide jack kindly emailed me but I'm honestly wondering if the 18-70 f3.5-f5.6 is really doing me any favours? Please don't think I'm blaming my tools here coz I've got lots to learn myself too but comparing my D200 photos with some from my tiny point and shoot I'd have thought the dslr would blow it away?!!! I also don't think the dull rotten scottish weather helps either mind you since the photos are rarely bright. Would changing this lense be a good idea? Just now my photos have been my young son's sports day, bmx park and some general pictures (point and shoot style) ie I don't just do landscapes or just do portrait.
I'll try post a few and maybe someone could help. I've taken a few that I was pretty pleased with and they are straight out the camera too.
Is it possible to be a beginner with a D200 coz it overwhelms me quite honestly or should I persevere with it since it is a good body (I bought it as it was very keenly priced with 1390 clicks second hand).
Thanks folks
