[QUOTE="Erin218, post: 22835, member: 6458"] I need some really good advice lol. I have a Nikon D60. It has been my first and very beloved DSLR, But I am thinking that I need a change. I need helo deciding whether to upgrade and purchase a new camera body or to upgrade on my lenses and keep the body for a while longer. The lenses I have right now are just the kit lenses: 18-55mm and 55-200mm. If I decided to upgrade the body, I am thinking either a D200 or a D90. I will probably will buy used no matter which I buy because of financial restraints. But if you think a different camera would suit me better, please suggest it! What I am shooting in mostly people. I love candid portraits and wedding photography, and hope to eventually get a biz going. If I upgrade lens wise, I'm unsure what to do. The only thing I know for sure is that I would like to get a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lens. Totally open to suggestions here too! I am getting better at Manual focus but not fantastic yet. My MAIN ISSUES with my D60 are: 1. I HATE that it does not have an internal lens. I would love to be able to buy some older and cheaper lenses without having to manual focus all the time. 2. I really do need some more auto focus points. I just get frustrated having only 3. 3. I also think I could use a higher number of megapixels. Ok, all that being said, I would GREATLY appreciate ALL comments and suggestions! Please and thank you! :-) [/QUOTE]
