Alright so I have about $1000 US for a camera. My main question is, should I spend it on something like the XTi and just get the kit lens and some memory and ill pretty much be done, or get something like the Nikon D40 and buy one or two good lenses, some memory, and maybe have a few bucks left for misc?
I'm getting into shooting the local music groups in the area, so I need a good camera to catch action in sometimes low light situations. From what I read, the Canon seems to be the better way to go for action, True?
I like taking shots of wildlife so I figured a telephoto lens would be smart.
I actually went and held the D40, D50, D70, D80 tonight at a Wolf Camera, but they were out of all the Canons. After holding the 40, the other Nikons just dont seem attractice, they are so much heavier lol.
Read something about the D40 not having a motor for AF on the lenses? I'm really use to AF so I wouldnt be able to use that on the D40 right?
Thanks for the help.
