I am Caribou and I own a Nikon D 90 with a Tamron 18-270 that I purchased late last summer (2009). It is my first-ever Nikon [I was a Minolta owner starting with the SRT 101], and I have to say it is a superior camera! I love the versatility of the lens, as well. Looking forward to learning tips & tricks to improve my knowledge of this outstanding camera.
