New Camera Help!

[7starphotography]

Hey, I am an amateur photographer, (verging into the world of professional photography not just yet though!) and I have a Nikon D40 with a standard lense, external flash and a macro lens. I am wanting to upgrade to a better camera, as I am taking a lot more photos at gigs and getting a lot of work published, anybody any reccomendations?

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave:

The logical step would be to stay with Nikon as you already have some equipment, therefore, go for the camera in that range that suits your budget. Go to a shop and try a few out before making a final decision as you may find a smaller one more suitable, leaving you a little more budget for a new or better lens :)

I am not that familiar with the Nikon range, assuming you want to stick with Nick.

If you like doing Giggs go for a camera with a high Max ISO rating. The Nikon range has a few of these bodies < £1000.

e.g. D5000 ISO 3200 (+ Hi 6400 equivalent)

But you will need to check out the reviews in terms of low light performance and noise handling.

well I was thinking a Nikon D90, its 800, then lens is 300. is it a relatively good camera?
