Hello all,
Here in New Zealand its nearly half eleven on Saturday night and Im still flicking between here and DP Review in the eternal dilemma, which camera for my first DSLR .? Only now its worse, now I have permission from her-on-high to actually go and get one (only took five months but Im not bitter ).
Im buggered if I can make my mind up. At my skill level its academic really which camera I go for, Ill be learning from minute one. I love the 20D, (well, idea of) but Ive handled and used the D70 and thought it was superb. Its like this, the 20D is the best camera I can afford, but Ill only walk out the store with a 20D and the kit lens. If I get a D70s I could have camera, a GOOD kit lens and maybe a longer zoom or wide-angle and even possibly a tripod. A couple of answers could help me out here before tomorrow (in NZ!)
1. As a beginner, am I going to miss any technical brilliance from the 20D if I go for a 350D or miss out on image quality (tech. Quality, i.e. noise at high ISOs, etc)?
2. Exact same question for Nikon, as a beginner, am I going to miss any technical brilliance from the D70s if I go for a D50 or miss out on image quality (tech. Quality, i.e. noise at high ISOs, etc)? Is the D50 better?
3. Gut responses to this only please, no thinking allowed! Best camera with kit lens or one camera down from best and more lenses, what would/did you do?
4. Am I asking the right questions, lol?
Cheers peeps, enjoy your Saturday up there!
