Hello Fellow Nikonites,
My creativeness as a photographer has attracted the attention of people asking me if I do wedding photography. At first I wanted nothing to do with wedding photography - I didn't want the responsibility of getting that "perfect picture for Mrs Bridezilla". However, after being asked repeatedly and a change of interest I've decided to go ahead and give it my best. However, my projects had been achieved with a simple point and shoot camera. I do have experience with using a SLR as well. I just don't own one.
I write today to ask what you all would say in the way of choosing a starter camera "I'm on a budget" that would be good for wedding photography. I have been reading a lot on FX vs DX, what are your thoughts on that? What kinds of lenses? I read a lot that having the skill to actually take the photos is much more valuable than what camera you use. However, surely the camera will be a big part of that, right? LOL Where would you suggest getting a starter camera? Renting? Pawn Shops? What kind of camera? D300? Would the new D3200 work for most wedding photography needs? What is better pixel count or lens value?
Thank you so much for your input and helpful hints.
Regards,
WendyR
