I'm a happy Nikon D3300 owner who'd like to "step up" into the full frame world, for the following reasons:
- I take more pictures in low light than I thought I would
- I get more noise in my pictures than I thought I would (in low light / high iso conditions)
So here I am, looking for advice. A few questions, specifically:
- My eyes are on the D610, because I'm not desperate for WiFi or a tilting screen. I use the viewfinder to take pictures, and don't do movies at the moment. All I care for is a good pictures quality, at a reasonable price. Would this choice make sense in your opinion? Is there another camera I'm not looking at that I should look at?
- Assuming that the D610 is a sensible choice, what is the best way to buy it considering that I'm London based? What do you think of a used body, what mistakes do I have to avoid in buying a used body?
- I could find online quite a spread of prices. Amazon sells the D610 for £ 1,199 but e-infin only for £ 868. Is this a scam? [pictures attached]
- What 50mm prime would you recommend I start with? Ideally I would like to open the aperture to f1.2 but not if that's going to cost me an arm and a leg. f1.4 / f1.6 could do. Also, I'd like to have auto-focus. VR not a priority.
- Is it cheaper abroad? I have a friend living in Dubai who's coming to visit in a month, I could ask him to bring me the camera if it saves me a significant amount of money.
