Hi guys,
here's my problem, I've been saving cash up for a telephoto lens, namely a Sigma 150-500mm(though I want a nikkor 70-200/80-200). Now I have had my D60 for 4.5 months now, theres still the 2 year warranty, and what not.
But heres the thing, I was talking to someone who's selling his D200 off for AU$750(388 GBP) the camera has no warranty, and has only 2,258 shutter actuations.
Now i only have a kit lens, my idea was to save up for a kit lens, but the ones I really want are AF-D and AF DX. I tend to do lots of outdoor shots of landscape, and nature. and birding.
Also when I go out, I only use M mode(manual for cannon folk) I don't use any other mode, and I keep thinking for AU$750 this body upgrade may be worth my while. Im not joking when I say I never use any of the landscape/portrait or any of that nonsense, its either M or sometimes.. S(but rarely)
Also on that bombshell I know someone who's selling his AF-D 80-200mm for $1000(518GBP) they retail here for 780GBP. right now the funds i have available for be comfortably spending is about AU$1100. (I have pplenty more but for certain reasons i'd only spend that much.
Also if I buy the D200, I intend selling the D60 as a body only, Im wondering if I'd be able to seel that off quick enough for a fair amount to buy a new lens for the D200.
What do you guys think? is the D200 an upgrade? will it be worthwhile?
Now to finish
