What kind of Camera do you use.......and why?     posted on 28th of april, 2008

I currently am using the Nikon D80, but will be upgrading or adding to my photography arsenal soon, but not sure to what get. Any suggestions?

I have done some research, via magazines and talking with store clerks, but I really would like some advice from people in the trade, so if you have a chance please let me know what you think.

I like the simplicity of the Nikon D80, but am ready for more.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Angie

Thanks for all the comments.......I have decided to go with the D300. Yes, that way I can still use the lenses I have. I am not crazy about how heavy it is, but I will still use the D80 for the day to day stuff till I get used to the 300. A friend of mine has the D3 which is so awesome, but out of my $$ range. Thanks! - posted by Us40637 on April 30, 2008
Nikon D300 (1800.00)almost as good as the D3 but you can use your D80 lenses... (DX format) If you really want to Rock get the D3 (5000.00) but you will need to buy new lenses (FX format) The D3 is smokin' fast, unbelievable hi ISO low light capability and the image quality is awesome... www.photobybahama.com Tom - posted by Blueice69caddy on April 30, 2008
I use a Nikon D50 which seems to be similar to the D80. The only thing that I dont like about the D50 is that it doesnt have a sensor cleaning function. I realise the D60 now adds this but I'm not sure I want to pay for a new camera just for that single feature. What dont you like about the D80, or more specifically what do you want it to do that it doesnt already do? - posted by Paulcgreen on April 29, 2008
