      Nikon D90 vs Canon PowerShot G5
      After 6 years with my faithful G5 I decided to buy a new camera. Primary reason was shooting under poor light.

      Fantastic, even for a first-time DSLR buyer
      As a former film SLR owner, I appreciated the convenience of a point & shoot digital camera, and had been very happy with the many photos I’d taken with one over the past 8 years…

      A step further
      I used to have a Sony Alpha — it was my first DSLR camera — which was ok as an initial step in getting to know the basic aspects of photography.

      great camera
      I have been very pleased with my camera so far. The controls are set up in a very common-sense/easy to use manner, just a quick read through of the basics in the manual gets you…

      Kit lens is cheap
      The camera performs as expected. The kit lens is really a cheap one. The mounting ring of the lens is made of plastic.

      The camera is just fantastic.
      The Nikkor lens just “broke” 2 days ago and was taken for repair…AF blew up, no more working and useless.

      serious problems with shutter release freezing and poor focus
      In short, this camera was extremely buggy. The shutter release would freeze up on me after I left the camera on for a minute or so.
