D200 up to D300...?

[NateS]

Thanks again for the advice.

Nate S - yeh I was a bit vague about the print size. At ISO 100 I've tried up to 16" x "24 so far which is obviously fine but would like to produce much larger ones.

Plus I had no idea I could be doing a lot better on the lens front.

D200 + Sigma/Nikon 50mm f1.4 at ISO 100-400 is going to be better than
D300 + Nikon 18-70 at ISO 1600-3200

That's handy to know - because I've often shot with my 18-70mm at ISO 800 and the results are a bit shoddy. Don't suppose you know whether the Sigma/Nikon 50mm lens would be compatible with a D700 should I upgrade later?

KmH - Great, looks like my 18-70 needs shifting anyway, but seems the AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR will do me for both cameras.

By 'massive' I was thinking about "33 x "47 - maybe I could use better lenses to make that poss. with a D200...?

Yeh I take your point about a pebbled canvas surface, but v.large prints still demand a fair degree of detail. Do you reckon canvas is quite forgiving on the quality of images?

So I'm veering towards finding some better lenses for my D200 which would be compatible with the D700 should I go for it a later point. But keen to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for helping!

Both the Sigma and Nikon 50mm f1.4 are compatable with full frame such as D700.
