I just upgraded my DSLR from a Fuji Finepix S7000 (circa 2004-ish) to a Nikon D3200, with three different lenses (18-55mm, 55-200mm, and a 35mm f1.
. I've been taking a lot of photos in darker environments, and some camera site recommended the 35mm lens. I'm impressed with just how well the camera does in low light, without the flash (the flash on my S7000 was a little too intense at times, so I've learned to avoid it).
The D3200 is a very easy camera to use, I've found, although I'm still getting up to speed (I've had it less than a week).
The Fuji has served me well. I took more than a few pics after riding the Connie to some places. But at 6 Megapixels, yeah it's waaaaay outdated these days.
I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I enjoy doing it.
Here's some pics from one of my rides a few years back that I took of our group with my trustworthy Fuji. It was a lot of fun that day, until one of us went down after hitting a gravel patch...
