Hello

my first day here , from TORONTO , need some help just getting in to digital photography now , wants to know which is the best nikon for general photography ,plus
weddings ,, i have seen D200 heard about D90 also newer 3000 and 5000 ,, i have been
told by a lab technician that D200 work is easy to correct for skin colours etc need
your take on it , thanks every one in advance

Hello! If you're just starting I would recommend the D3000 or D5000. They're both great starter dSLR's and the D5000 has the same image sensor as the D90.

I would suggest you look for a used D80, its a fantastic camera, mid range price ($1000) but you can pick one up now for about $400. to $500.
If you check E Bay, etc. I got one with the lens (18-135) plus the Battery grip and a couple of 4GB cards for $550.00. So look around. Its well worth it.
Better camera then the D3000 or D5000, as good as the D90, but no video (but who needs that)??

thanks All

As a Hassy shooter comparing the new Nikon models is like comparing the old 500CM with the 2000 FC...different photogs liked different things about each model, but the overall quality and performance of either camera worked well. Same with the new Nikon stuff. The D5000 and D90 have the same sensor technology with different feature sets...image quality is comparable between the two. If you want to compare actual RAW image quality to RAW image quality of any digital camera or camera back, just visit this site. Welcome to dxomark.com (beta), a free resource dedicated to RAW-based camera image quality This is the most comprehensive data you'll find on sensor technology and RAW quality. Honestly, the Fuji lineup of digital cameras offers the most pleasing flesh tones for portraits and wedding shots. Basically, they are Nikon bodies (D200) with proprietary Fuji sensor technology. Check out the discontinued S5. You can get it for a song and a dance and still shoot with Nikon lenses. FinePix S5 Pro (Discontinued Model) | Fujifilm Global

Re: thanks All

Ken thank you ,
what would u say for D 90 , and how would u compare D 90 to D200

I love the D90 and all of its features and the build of the camera and how comfortable it feels in my hand. I don't have any experience with the D200, so unfortunately I can't give an honest opinion. Reading the specs are one thing, but as you know, working with a camera makes all the difference in the world.

Hello
