This. And get cancer.

at least it makes me laugh

Haha, I was hoping for that

I'm bitchin' a bit about it with a friend who's also into photography a bit.. Whenever I see somebody with nikon I sais "look he has nikon, he must be a professional"



depends on what you want, the d300 is a great camera ^^

Wow! You guys really give some good advice here...

You'll do great with the D7000 but don't forget to get some nice lenses as well otherwise you wouldn't see much improvement in image quality by slapping on a crappy lens onto a good camera.

I'm currently using the nikon 35 1.8 mostly
got the tamron 90 2.8 macro, awesome, love it!
got sigma 120-400, love it, but my d3000 can't handle this one so well (long focal length = short shutter speeds = high iso = too much noise)
also using the nikon 18-55, but only at 18mm

I will probably get a nikon 17-55 2.8 sooner or later

I'm not just randomly upgrading my gear, I have been upgrading with clear goals all the time, at least it feels that way..
I bought sb-600 as I thought it would improve my indoor photography a lot, and it did.. Now I need to crank that iso up from time to time ;P

Well just don't forget that the Nikon 17-55 is really meant for DX cameras so if you ever want to upgrade to a full frame like D700 you will need to buy something like the 24-70 f2.8
heh upgrading bodies actually require a lot more money than just the cost of the body itself

Yeah I am fully aware of that
But a FF upgrade isn't really in scope for me

I just got her home, charging the batteries, my friends won't see me very much

just in time for the new contest

Hehe, yeah



I have just learned how to wirelessly fire a flash ^^

Damn I'm gonna need to learn a lot of stuff, I'm glad I got the photo technical stuff down already..
