hey, guys-
whenever i have a question, you are the first people i turn to. alot of times it's because i feel too silly to actually ask the question out loud! and of course, cause everyone here is SO helpful. but here goes. (sometimes i cant even believe i was a photo major and dont know these things.)
ok, i've never owned a digital camera. not even a cheap little one to take to parties. i'm very much a film girl. however, i am absolutely obsessed with the nikon d70, and wish more than anything i could afford it. but in the mean time, i want to stick to film, and i'm looking for a nikon SLR (the only camera i have now is my mom's minolta from the 70's, which i love dearly, but it's time to kick it up a notch!). i do alot of freelance...taking family photos and whatnot. but my specialty is "fashion photo shoots" as creative as possible, to build up my portfolio (fashion/fine art based).
my question is: can anyone reccommend a good nikon SLR(for less than 300) with lenses that i can use in the future when i eventually save up for that d70? i am scared that if i get a film nikon now, i will get the wrong kind or something and invest in all these lenses for the SLR and won't be able to use the lenses on the d70 (eventually!).
shwew. ok, thanks guys!
