Storing Cameras Safely

Cameras especially the DSLRs are expensive so as responsible owners, utmost care must be given to them at all times. I’ve read several helpful articles on the web regarding the proper way of taking care of them and the most common reminder I’ve read is to safely keep them away from humidity. If in case, they are unused for a period of time, better store them in its camera bag/case inside and place it inside a closet or any secured place and not just on top of an unstable rack mount. Further, as a lens is the heart of a camera, they must be thoroughly cleaned using lens cleaning papers or brushes only as they are very sensitive to scratches.

Wishful Thinking.

Fervently and patiently hoping for the day when I can upgrade Nikky to this.

These testimonials I’ve been reading on the web makes me drool over it more.

“I can admit my love for the Nikon D90. That’s right – I love it!”

“The D90 has better performance in low light, faster response, and a more flexible flash.” (in comparison to D60)

“It has never disappointed me, it continues to challenge me, and I keep learning new things about it every day.”
