[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 572398, member: 3903"] All this time you are arguing with yourself, asking everyone's opinion, you are not taking pictures. I understand that your goal is to produce and sell fine arts prints. Now maybe I'm wrong, but this is not going to happen overnight. You will have to learn about light, post-processing, and maybe the most important, how to market you product. If you want to get to the top to earn a living, you will have to invest a lot of money and time to it. To me, buying the less expensive camera with no lens because, as you wrote, "[COLOR=#000000]Yeah I read that the bigger the zoom range, the more possible distortion may occur", will not get you very far. Lens distortion is something that all zoom lenses have, but it can be very well corrected in post processing. But you have to learn how to do that too... [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] You might have a lot to learn before you start selling your work, and you might as well start with a cheaper camera body, one you can afford right now without risking your entire savings. When and if you get good enough to sell your work, there will be better cameras on the market that you will be able to afford. I will repeat my initial suggestion of getting a D90 or D7000. I know you might be afraid of second hand product, but if you deal with a reputable store (Henrys, in Canada), you can get a warranty. A D90 with a 35 and a 50 could help you learn and get a bit closer to your dream than spending months on forums asking thousands of people to take side on one particular model. If you listen to everyone's advice, you'll be running circles by no time. So the decision is your's to make and I just hope you take the one that will let you enjoy photography and bring yourself closer to your dream. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
