currently in the market to buy a camera for recreational purposes. budget is about 800-1k. i'm not a pro but have been taking pictures for a while and would like a better camera to play with lol. any suggestions?

 

that budget include lenses? or just for the body?

 

I recommend the D90 for that price range, very crisp pictures and has a built in motor in the body so you dont have to worry about getting auto focusing lenses.

 

mmm i have a d200 that i may sell if you are interested.

 

want a film camera instead of digital? lol

 

Sounwave- full camera including lenses
Hwob90- ty ill check that out!
Dorito- would like a new camera
Blkblitzed- if I have some money left over ill be hitting you up lol

 

Well what is your current camera setup (body and lenses)?

 

not really a setup, bought a canon powershot s3 is couple years back. time for an upgrade.

 

sub'ed... I shoot a D40x (not the greatest by far) but it was cheap and takes great shots imo... Gives you some wiggle room for lenses/filters and whatnot...

just my .02

 

I'm still a n00b when it comes to dslrs but I'd suggest buying a good lens for now and buy a used dslr body. A good lens will last you a while and you can still use it with a different body. Practice technique and learning to use your camera first, at least thats what I'm trying to do

 

solid. if you feel differently later on lemme know.

 

whatcha got?

 

Canon 50d is a good starter. The 60d looses the mag body but you do get a swivel LCD screen.
If you do get one of those cameras get a 17-55 lens. Good starter

 

sent you a PM.

 

Thanks weaver, I'm definitely going to check that one out. Best buy haas a package deal goin on with that model
