[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 96698, member: 10742"] You can start low, and work your way up in both as your interest and funds allow... Nikons, within certain time frames, retain their value enough to make upgrading relatively painless... I recently bought a D7000 with lens for $900ish... and sold my D90 and the lens for $800ish... I did the same with a D5000 to D90, and a D40 to D5000 over the last couple of years... I do try to save/bargain for better lenses because of their backward compatibility.... It's difficult to shoot for expensive cameras without some knowledge/experience in what your needs are. My interests and knowledge have grown over the years... Of course, it's just a hobby for me... I could have taken up race car driving as a hobby, and it would cost a couple thousand dollars a weekend for tires and gas... ;) [/QUOTE]
