-----Today went to some Christmas photoshoot with 50mm1.8 but sadly missed many shots due to poor manual focusing :( I will get a 50mm 1.8 AFS someday :D

Hence, I am waiting to get my hands on the G one :)

Nice reviews too ... Nikon 50mm f/1.8G Review

@toofan: nic snaps,
nice work by all, checking forum after long time.

Just one question: if anybody has experience on bringing used camera from abroad to India.
I just came to India for vacation with my used D5100 and had to pay whopping 36% duty on it. Didn't expected, as I am going to take it back with me. What they suggested is to keep it with them in custody and take back when leaving or pay duty, if I want to us it here :(

dude thats insane,one of every item is duty free since it can be declared as item for personal use,duty is only levied if u carry more than one camera

Sorry for diverting your discussion. I have recently bought Canon SX220HS, I am not familiar with it now. Can you please tell me What is/are the uniqueness of this Model? Can this Camera take the picture like that of the pictures you have posted above?

@Sujoy: Thanks for suggestion, I will post it in jjmehta forum. Anyways I have already paid the duty as I wanted to use it here :(
@prabhu.wali : I thought the same and I argued with them that I will be returning soon with camera. But as per custom officer I can bring camera within Rs. 25K and whatever above that dutiable and Professional camera doesn't come under duty free item.

@hluachawngthu welcome to the photography world where expectation never ends :D

I would say for start select any genre of your liking like landscapes....google search how to take great landscapes and see the setting used...try those settings on your cam ...try taking similar pics...that helps...learn to use GIMP or Photoshop software for post processing like sharpning, brightness/contrast etc ;)

Medico,
Wow!!! real turtles... Your friend have so many pet animals. :)

Reddead,
First one is very good and your P&S should be a good one too... What's your gear... And the last one is kinda dove doll...

Vimal,
As for as I remember I see only your macros. I checked your flickr collection. You have a nice collection there. :doublethumb: Krishna and the little girl are cute...

skr,
I like 3rd and last one. Good work...

kjuvale,
Do you need to pay duty when you land (abroad), again???

hluachawngthu,
I am not sure about the unique feature of your camera. Sure your camera will take good photos. And you don't need to compare it DSLR's. I am just quoting Rockwell's

"The best camera is always the one you already have with you"

"The pictures you take depend on you, not on your camera"
