Hey all
I've recently reconsidered buying a Panasonic FZ30 after reading some reviews on it and I've decided just to bite the bullet and buy a DSLR instead. I love the Nikon D50. It seems to have just about everything I want in a camera without being cheesy-ish like the RebelXT (sorry, my probably unfounded, opinion of those cameras) and without being a monster like the D70. Plus it takes SD cards so I won't need to buy new memory cards.
So basically this is what I'm thinking of ordering:
Nikon D50 "kit" with 18-55mm f/3.6-5.4 (I think that's correct) Nikkor lens.
Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6
Tiffen 55mm UV filter
I can get all of the above for about $900. Does this sound like a good plan to you guys? It's my first foray into even seriously considering a DSLR so please, if something seems funky to you, let me know.
Your opinions and thoughts are most appreciated.
