Thanks, Shane. That's a great start. I didn't know much about the basics as far as gear I'd need. You're right on the money about the investment. It's just one of those situations where it's going to be a gradual…

Ideally, you want a good camera, good lenses, a speedlite, and probably a lightweight (cheap) light stand, small umbrella, and a reflector. You can probably find some decent buys at Chuck's, but he is very internet saavy and a lot of his prices…

Well, Nina, I'm intending on using any gear I get to do a hybrid of some hobby and semi-pro work. I'm not looking to open a studio anytime soon. I do it particularly for fun. However, I'd like to get into it to make some extra coin…

John, I'd have to agree with Shane here. The D200 would not be my first choice for an upgrade either. What are you gonna use your gear for? Hobby or professional pictures? Will you make money with that gear? I guess the question is not can you…

The only problem I have with it is the LCD resolution @230,000 Dots vs. 920,000 Dots super density on the D90. Aside from that and certain lens compatibility, the D5000 and D90 are pretty close in specs. Well, the D5000 sounds like a robot from…

Yeah, I forgot all about the d90! I would give it a serious look.Shane E. said:B&H has a used D90 for $779, but otherwise $899. I do not care for the D200 or D60. The D90 is newer and sexier with a 3" LCD and a better sensor. The D200 is…

B&H has a used D90 for $779, but otherwise $899. I do not care for the D200 or D60. The D90 is newer and sexier with a 3" LCD and a better sensor. The D200 is rough at mid to high ISO, but fine for low ISO. The D90 has features similar to…

What's going on, everybody? I'm trying to expand my camera arsenal (if you've seen the profile, you can tell I need to). I used to tell my wife all the time years ago that I'd never switch to digital SLRs. I lied. I'm looking to upgrade from my N65, which I really dig, but is having film rewind issues. I'd rather put my hard-earned money toward something newer.Here's the scenario: I've narrowed it down to these two.*A Nikon D200 (10.2MP), (camera body only, lens not included) -- $640-$800OR*A…See More
