    My first DSLR

    @bonamin When it comes to the question of Nikon vs Canon, there are lots of heated debates over the Internet. its good to know that you own both brands. About being MAC and Windows, i'm not trying to suggest that one is better than the other because that would be idiotic. Both OS's are perfect...

    Choosing a Gaming Laptop

    @Darkrad yes your opinion is correct. Asus has been the epitome of durability for laptop brands in recent years. And Lenovo laptops have lots of strengths, however, durability, might not be one of them. occasionally you'll get a Lenovo laptop which has to be taken into repair within a year of...

    My first DSLR

    yes a 50mm 1.8 will be a perfect start for now. yes D3*** series does not have auto bracketing feature. But you can always go for manual bracketing (for static scenes, otherwise it would be pain in a**). Note: The D3300 has a two-shot "HDR Painting" scene mode, however as you may expect from...
