i had another post before that was between the nikon d40 and d60. and so i chose d60 but then found the canon 1000d. they are pretty much the same just different brands i think. the canon is 510$ on bh and the d60 is 550$ on bh. which should i get

get them from amazon when you choose, cheaper.

nikon is better

so ther pretty much the same price and same thing i think. just diff brands. does anyone know if like the lenses for either one are better or cheaper or anything

i just like nikon way better. i've used canon way more cause it's what my sister shoots with but the nikon just seems alot nicer too me. and the lenses are dope and can be fit to pretty much everything

isnt the 1000d old?

neither, second hand D70s with a 50mm or the newer 35mm DX

thanks for the suggestion. i found a used body on bh for $330 and it looks like a good camera just not that new. what lense do you recommed

the reason its better is because it can shoot with flashes at much greater speeds and is known to have unlimited off camera syncs due to an electric shutter cut off.

id suggest the 50mm or the new 35mm dx or if you have a bit of dosh the 80-200 maybe one of those kite 55-200 lens for the mean time if you have to..

ok. thanks bro

so im prob gonna get this d70. will the 35mm be good for shooting like pretty much everything until i get more lenses? and what other lenses do you recomend

35mm on that body will crop to 51 so it will be abount the same as the human eye, minus depth perception of course..


after that look in the 10.5 fisheye or tokina 10-17 fish/wideangle

or the ƒ/2.8 80-200 zoom.

k thanks. wouuld you recommend a d200 over a d70s. its 640$ new at bestbuy

yeah, but if you want to ue flashes then the D70 is a better learning point.

hmmm. this is complicated. and the d200 is now $600 new jesus christ

This is true.


Haha yea i was gonna buy a d200 with 8,000 pictures taken on it for 400 bucks....body only obiv

ok the nikon d200 body for 600 or the canon 40d refurb with decent lens for 850-http://www.adorama.com/ICA40DKR.html?searchinfo=canon+dslr+refurb
or the canon 30d refurb for 550-
http://www.adorama.com/ICA30DKR.html?searc...non+dslr+refurb

nikon d200 but i still think you should listen to andrew and look at those d70s

yeah i was considering the d70s but now they arnt on bh anymore

A d70 was introduced in like 2003 or 2004, they are great cameras. You dont have to buy from b&h, i was just looking at a d70 used for 225 body only.

where did you see that one

it would have been ebay
or

im leaning towards a refurb canon 30d with a kit lens for $550. is this a good decision?
