[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 93482, member: 6573"] I started with a D80 then upgraded to a D700 a little over four years ago. It was a bit expensive but it was worth it. It was one of the best advices that I had at the time. I only wish that I followed other peoples advice when it comes to lenses since I ended up with what "they" also advised in the long run. I didn't wanted to spend a lot on lenses but in the end, I ended up spending more since I had to buy and sell the lenses that I decided to buy and wasted time and money doing it. Depending on how serious you want to get with photography, getting the higher end camera equipment will minimize the constant upgrade or buying and selling of equipment. It's either do it right the first time or do it right the second time. :rolleyes: Lesson's learned for me: Buy the best camera that you are willing to spend. In your case, the D600 is a good start. With regards to lenses, for prime lenses, start with the Nikon 28mm f1.8G and 85mm f1.8G. The kit lens (Nikon 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 VRII) is a good lens to start with. Can't go wrong with the f2.8 zooms.
