[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 114341, member: 3903"] Welcome to Nikonites jesyst. If you're planning to shoot mainly with strobe the only other factor that would influence your decision is the final size of the output. How large are you planning to print? If you don't plan on going larger than 24"x36", D700 or 7000 should be plenty. I do prefer the look from the 700 compared to 7000, but I'd say mostly with available light because I can get less digital noise at high iso. On the other hand, the D600 is pretty impressive. It might not be as tough as the 800, but if you're working in a studio, you should be able not to bang or drop it too often. Lenses is where you should be spending most of the money. 85 1.8 G, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 will run you to the bank for a loan, but these are the lenses you will end up buying. It all depends on the size of your studio and the distance you like to work with while doing portraits. Good luck making up your mind and shopping around. Take your time (unless you're in a hurry), and remember that you can always rent before you buy when not sure about a certain focal length. [/QUOTE]
