I have gotten the photography bug once again. I went out and picked up a Nikon D5100 with 18-50mm lens. This is my first new SLR camera since I bought my Minolta X700 in 1987. I have used the point and shoot digital cameras for a while and they are good for what they are. I can't believe how fast the auto focus works. Now I just have to relearn how to use all the modes to take pictures. It will be a fun journey.
