I should have some new shots once my new lens gets here

 

What'd you order? Goodie.

 

Just a sigma 10-e0 f4-5.6 lens. I wanted the nikon one but I didn't have quite enough.

 

10- what?

 

I think he meant 10-20. Very cool lens! What are you shooting with? D40? D70!!? <--awesome camera for strobist :]

 

I can't wait for my Canon 10-22!

 

DSLR gurus, can you help a brother out.. im trying to buy a starter camera to get my feet wet and its come down to a D60 and D40..

im trying to figure out if the MP bump is worth the 30 bucks or not... i think i read somewhere that one can do work the AF lens motors and the other cannot.. but the nikon site says both can.
thanks in advance

 

I would just go ahead and spend the extra $30. if ur spending that much money anyways, what's another $30 gonna hurt?

 

Yup 10-20mm. I was typing on my blackberry so I didn't notice that. I shot with a D40x then upgraded to a D80 and now I have a D300. I have yet to take any real shots with the D300 since I'm still waiting for my new lens to come in.

 

I would go witht he D60 over the D40. It not just the MP boost though. I believe that the D0 also has the AF motor onboard so that you can use the HSM type lenses

 

Get the D70!!!! (If you're into lighting) You won't regret it.

Otherwise, I'd advise to get something bigger than the D40x unless you're not going to be that into it.

 

i looked into the d70 but i really want a bigger lcd screen to see my pictures when i take them...

yah i think the d60 comes with the AF motor but i wasnt sure.. i couldnt find it on the nikon website.. any other insight would be great.. i would love to post pictures on this thread...

 

the d60 does not come with an AF motor, you would have to buy lenses that come iwth it

 

ok cool... i did read that the d60 comes with range finder function that makes using non -AF lenses a little bit easier.. thanks for the help everyone. I'm going to order the D60

 

scratch that.. topchoicedigital.com is a scam.. ill have to look else where.. but i think i have narrowed it down to the d60

 

i would go with the D40. a word of advice, DO NOT buy camera equipment from anywhere selling a deal that looks "too good to be true" because it most likely is.

stick with Adorama, B&H Photo, Amazon, Ritz... places you know you will actually get your product.

 

check resellerratings.com for store quatilty

 

go with the D40. the D60 or D70 doesnt have AF if thats what your looking for.

 

Blah, Nikon bodies confuse me. Get a canon. :-D
