My daughters significant other gave me a Nikon D90 complete with an extra lens, an additional flash
H, some lens filters and a freakin' pro style tri pod! I am speechless which is rare for me.
Now however I have to make the leap from point and shoot (Sony dsc) to dslr. Excited and nervous at the same time

1. VERY COOL!

I've been trying to buy a ?something? DSLR from my daughter's mother in law, waiting for her to receive another camera as replacement from her husband, so just waiting. YOU've GOT IT!

3. That is great!

My go-to camera is a Nikon D90. it has so many professional features. I'm sure you will love it.

Get a book that helps you figure out all the wonderful features of this camera. I did that and have been happy about it ever since i got it.

6. And he has one of those

Manuals written by a photog on how to use it. I have some work, in the best sense of the word, to do now!

8. That will be fun work.

I have a prime lens that I use to take pics in low-light situations and a lens that is telephoto but also does great close up. Though I usually use the prime lens for close up photos.

The D90 is a great camera.

5. The D90 is a great camera

If your flash is a Nikon speedlight (SB600 or higher), you can wirelessly trigger it off camera with the built-in flash. One of the things this allows you to do is set the main flash off to one side and dial the built-in flash down by 1-2 stops. The main flash then becomes your key light and the built-in becomes the fill. You can take some pretty decent portraits this way with very little effort.

You may not read it all, but the PDF does make searching for things much easier.

Congrats on the package!
