I am going to enroll myself in a professional photography course. Which camera do i buy?
I think it depends a lot on your budget. You could certainly buy a lesser camera body and have a lot of $ left for some nice lenses.
Agreed - when I sold a website I founded, I had about $7,000 budgeted for gear. I could have (at the time) bought the D3, but it wouldn't have left me money for good lenses.
I purchased the D300 (D700 wasn't out yet), 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, 50mm f/1.8 lens, 35mm f/1.8 lens, SB-800 flash unit, and still had money left over. I'm very thankful I went that route.
Very sensible of you. Work within your budget. You got good glass, later you can get a more expensive body.
