This is my very first DSLR and I'm so pleased I got the Nikon D300. I've waited more than 8 months after it was released so that I can read the product reviews and reviews from other buyers about this camera. And I was sold.
I've been into photography since I was in the university. My first cameras were the 35mm film cameras from Minolta and Canon. Then, I have my Canon SD Powershot P&S. After a few years of shooting with the point-and-shoot, I've been wanting to do more than just what the P&S can do. Last November, I bought my first DSLR and it's Nikon D300 from amazon.com. Day one was overwhelming but after browsing its manual and reading the book on D300 (I bought one of these -- Mastering the Nikon D300 by Darrell Young, David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography), it was not that hard at all. I'm a computer programmer by profession and for me, it's just like getting acquainted with a new software application that has a learning curve but a lot easier and more exciting. It also helped to read references from Ken Rockwell website, Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure, and others to fully enjoy photography using a DSLR.

I also bought a Nikkor 16-85mm as my first lens. It is a good wide-angle and medium telephoto lens that I use as a walkabout lens for landcapes, portrait and some close-ups. But it would be great if I also have these line of lenses to complete my setup -- Sigma 11-16mm (landscapes), Nikkor 70-300mm VR (landscapes and safari) and Nikkor 105mm (macro). You may also check my listmania for the complete list.
I was amazed and happy to have made my first shots with D300. The color saturation is just amazing! I couldn't believe I made those. I'm just happy I bought this as my first SLR. But still, I believe a beautiful picture boils down to having a strong composition and good lighting.
Happy shooting!
