Please Help! Dont know what to spend my £400 on.
I have £400+ burning an hole in my pocket and want to upgrade. I am torn between a new camera to use alongside my existing one or a nice new lens.
The kit i have is as follows: Nikon D40 Nikor 18-55mm Kit lens (non vr) Nikor 50mm 1.8d Prime Cosina 100mm MF Macro Sigma 70-300mm Apo Dg Macro. Jessops 360Afd Flash Unit. I Like the D40 it was all i could afford at the time but its limitations are starting to show now with only 3AF points, lack of Live view, Low resolution etc. So i was looking at upgrading to a D5000 with a VR kit lens for £415 ish i could sell my kit lens. Also it may be some time before i can afford to buy a new camera if i dont buy now. I Also fancy a better lens something like a Tamron 18-270mm allrounder though read a few bad reviews. Or a Nikor 70-300mm VR i am struggling with my existing lenses in weaker light and at the longer lengths and the VR would help. I could px my Sigma. What would you do in this position Camera or lens? Thx Paul. Last edited by bezzy3004; 20-11-10 at 23:55. |

Upgrading
Have you thought of buying used equipment? Mifsuds and MPB Photographic always have a good selection of used Nikon/Nikon fit equipment. I've bought from both of them recently and they are both good companies to deal with.( I bought a D90 body from Mifsuds and a Sigma 70-300 APO from MPB)
Incidentally, I've got a Tamron 18-270mm lens which I still use as a walkabout lens on my old D80 and the results from this are OK as far as I'm concerned! Dave |
