How do you capture you favorite moments in daily life? Most of us use the built-in camera on mobile phone, that’s why iPhone now is the most popular camera on flickr.com. Simplicity is one of the most important dogmas in modern lifestyle. Such statement also works in the digital camera world. With similar image-quality output, the more simple the camera, the more it will be adopted by users.

I’m a D-SLR user, I’m a professional wannabe, and photography has been my new hobby for more than 2 years now. If you wonder what camera I use, the answer is Nikon D7000. Using an APS-C sensor, my camera is one of Nikon’s ‘not too old’ generation cameras along with D5100 and D3100. I know the latest generation of Nikon cameras are D4, D800 and the entry level D3200 which are powered by Expeed 3 image-processing engine. I’m happy with my camera, but one thing that’s bother me is the size and weight. Sometime it’s just too heavy for traveling, the fact says so! No question about that!
