hello all,
so i have been shooting for awhile (since about november) with a d40 and the kit lens (and a 50mm f/1.8 i got at christmas) and i want to buy a d200. i feel i need a higher FPS for sports photography (one of my passions i have found) and i also want it for its internal AF motor so i can use older lenses. I have been looking at getting a d200 however i want to make sure and find a good deal (around $500 for a used great condition one). I bought my d40 for $340 after constantly searching for a good deal, i am frugal..
in about a month my family and are vacationing to the grand canyon. this is a signifigant contrituting factor to why i want to buy a d200. I do not think that with the vastness of the grand canyon would be sufficiently covered by the 6.1 megapixels in a d40 (and yea i realize most of the emphasis on the megapixel 'space race' is fake.)
do you guys, as experienced photographers, think that a d40 would be sufficient for the grand canyon? should i upgrade? i am a college student so i am not rich but i do have some money i have saved up.
check my flickr in my sig for some sample photos...
