I had been planning on waiting until next week to go buy my new DSLR camera. But after having lunch with my mom, I decided to go get it today. I was really nervous before going to get it, big purchases always freak me out, even when I've been planning them for awhile. But I knew I needed to get this sooner rather than later so I could become acquainted with my new friend.
So I went to Costco, plopped the box for the Nikon D90 in the basket and was looking around for memory cards and flash drives. When I finally find them, there's an employee by the Nikon cameras who asks me if I have any questions or need any help. So I was starting to tell him I'm getting the D90 and he blatantly asks why I'm getting that one instead of the D5000. I wanted to laugh and be like, "DUH, it's more expensive therefore it must have better features!". I had done research on the D90 and liked what I saw, but never really compared it to the D5000. So here I had at my disposal an employee who had the same plan and mindset as I; and did all the research and ended up buying the D5000.
Long story short, I walked out with the D5000. For my purposes, the features and functions provided by the D90 couldn't justify a $500 price jump from the D5000. The D5000 is going to be sufficient for me for several years to come. I was also able to get memory cards and flash drives without worrying about how much money I was spending. At the end of the day, I walked out feeling better about the purchase I made than how I felt when I walked in about the purchase I was going to make. All I need now, is an extra battery.
