    D300, D200?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Michael, the 85mm and 50mm look great, and if anything will be looking to get those in the near future. They won't

    autofocus on the d40, but that's alright.

     

    Joseph, I've yet to know for certain, but it would be a dream to be a sports photographer.

     

    And as far as majors go, in industrial engineering, we learn the business side of things, though not to the extent

    a business major would, of course. I was on the verge of switching to a photo program last year, but it was met

    with some objection.

     

    Carl, I've been using Photoshop CS2 =).

     

    Shun, the "gigs" are concerts and times vary to be in the day or night, and the ones I have gone to with my

    camera have been outdoor.

     

    And thank you all for the advice, I truly appreciate it.

     

    Cheers

    Hi everyone,<br><br>

     

    I've saved up a bit of money for an upgrade but am in a pickle as to what to get. I currently own a Nikon D40,

    and plan on going into the photography profession after graduating college in 2010, and would like a more

    advanced camera. My major is not photography related though, and as far as I know there are no classes pertaining

    to photography that I could take. So I mostly rely on reading from books and the Internet and from practice of

    course (I also joined the campus paper to get more experience) for learning. I shoot gigs, portraits and outdoor

    travel, mostly. I usually use aperture or shutter priority on my D40.<br><br>

     

    The equipment I have are:<br><br>

     

    - Lens: 18-55mm, 55-200mm<br>

    - Flash: SB-600, SB-800<br>

    I used to have a tripod but it broke =(<br><br>

     

    I was initially considering purchasing the D300 (because of its low light capabilities among other things), but

    after further reading, felt like D200 would also be good, if not better as I would be able to afford a lens as

    well (I was thinking of the 24-85mm f/2.8-4).<br><br>

     

    Would it be better to purchase the D300 without a lens or a D200 with the 24-85 (or another lens in the similar

    price range)? Or save for a lens? <br><br>

     

    Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance =)
