Hi all,
I have a Nikon D60 which I bought just a couple of months ago to see if digital photography would appeal to me.
I have my former film era lenses as well:
Nikkor 50mm f1.8 and 28mm f2.8.
I do landscapes, and street photography mainly.
Now since photography is coming back as a strong passion I'd like to buy new gear.
As you can read from the title I can't decide between D300 and D700.
Well I would have taken a decision to be honest but wanted to know what people think.
If I'd buy a D300 I would still be able to use my prime lenses but will feel the need of a 18mm lens for which reason I would also buy the 17-55mm f2.8 which is about 900£ more.(so about 1900£)
If I bought the D700 instead I might keep using my prime lenses and maybe wouldn't buy the 24-70mm f2.8 which I feel is the right lens for me...(so about £1700)
The question is though I would maybe still feel the need for a zoom lens and I will still buy it later on....
Maybe also a D700 or a D300 wouldn't make a big difference to me as I'm not a pro?
And also 1700£ for a camera is a lot of money...
What does everybody think?
What would you do in my shoes?
