Hi guys,
I have a wedding coming (my mums) where I'm the photographer. Now I've not been shooting as much lately as I used to, but it's given me a boost and motivation to start shooting again. If the wedding goes well, then I'm going to consider upgrading my D40 to something better.
I'm getting £300 from some family for my 21st (2 weeks) and thinking about putting it towards a new camera. That money, and the sale of my D40 should hopefully be around £500, but if I could spend less than that would be preferred.
The reason for wanting to upgrade is lack of AF motor - I've been looking at some lenses - 50mm 1.8 and some others, but they won't AF on the D40. Also I would like to start Gig photography and I don't think the D40 would work too well with low light conditions.
I originally thought D80 or D3000 but apparently the D80 is very poor in low light, but the built in AF-motor is appealing! What about D200 or D90? Haven't really looked at those but ideally wouldn't want to spend that much.
Cheers,
Steven
