I've been training with my olympus for over a year now and i was planning on getting a nikon.
First of all my budget is 2000 €.

I was quite unsure between two choices:

D90 + the classic 18-105/18-200 vr II ( aka i got the chance to spend the other 1k €[and still save something] on lenses such as a 50mm/1.4+kenko teleplus or a 18-200[if i choose the 18-105 pack])

or

D300S + AF-S 16-85 VR (would be exactly 2k, and i should have to wait a bit[christmas probably] before getting new lenses)



What would you do?
I'd take the D300s, but i'd prefer some opinions really.
Thanks everybody.

Have you try the bodies at a local shop to make sure it's what you like? The ergonomics and button placement etc?

I've obviously shot with both bodies and found myself comfortable with both.

E-420, Olympus.
Had several tries on friends' nikons and loved them.

Mostly all, i don't have a favourite subject i just look around myself and "see" the picture.
I like a lot to shoot in the city, modern buildings and so on.
I'd like to get more into macrophotography, but i never bought new lenses for my camera since i knew i was going to change it someday.

Imo:

Get a Used D90, and a few primes, unless you really NEED zoom's but there is plenty of a used market for great condition lenses.

Dei video non mi interessa particolarmente.. poi i video che fanno la d90 e la d300s sono anni luce indietro alle concorrenti canon..
Una d700 usata quanto dici che può costare?
