[QUOTE="Nordika, post: 571891, member: 42496"] Reading through then posts on this topic I reckon "aroy" has it pretty well sown up... like many I was in this situation and I decided to go with a "old" d300 and a 18-55 lens... now I suspect many would frown upon this ...its old tat, not the latest firware, etc etc.... but I looked at it this way... coming from a time when decent cameras were all film and not digital, one thing I learned back in my youth was when it comes to taking decent photos one of the most important things is "get the best glass you can afford", granted my 300 came with what some would see as a lens that is only suitable for being included in a lens kit.... but it came free with the body... it got me going... and gave me something to use that got me familiar with the camera.... every day we learn and learn... so for me I would turn it on its head and think about what glass I want to get ... thats where I am at present... once I get familiar with using the lenses, then I can add the updates body.... maybe not the way that most folk go.... but its suiting me... and thats all that counts... go with what suits you would be my advice... you know more than anyone just how much and how far you want to go.... just enjoy it... Its a wonderful ride I am on.... hop on and enjoy thr ride... Lyndon [/QUOTE]
