Vic, let's look at things in a sensille manner. If your photo skills are laughable with a Nikon film camera do you really think they will be better with a digital camera. You now have one of the finest cameas made. Believe me, your skills will not change just because you bought a digital camera. I do a lot of shooting, both with a Nikon N6006 and with older cameras, such as Argus C3, made in 1949, Walz Envoy, made in 1948 and Praktica, made in the fifties. I get excellent pictures with all of them. Why you ask. I read many photography books and studied, studied and then I did more studying. It is not the camera that takes a good picture, it is the photographer. Get down to your Public Library, check out a lot of photography books, study not only the text but the photographs. Then and only then will you take good pictures. May you have good luck.
