Hi Everyone,
I'm not a photography person myself, but my brother has been shooting pictures for the last 15 years or so and has gone through a few cameras. He currently has a D50 and it is getting very unreliable. He really needs a new camera and I want to get him one. I know he has his eye on one that is about $2,500-$3000 but I can't spend that kind of money. I want to get him something from $800-$1500 that will get him through until he can purchase the hi-end camera he wants and also something that will be a good backup if he gets a better camera. He really shoots everything. Landscapes, sporting events, birthdays, family gatherings. There isn't a place he doesn't take his camera.
Can any of you tell me what camera may be best for him that is at least equivalent if not better than the D50?
Thanks for your help.
Josh
