Hey Everyone,
New to this forum. I've been researching for some time now and have decided to go with the Nikon D610.
Some background info on myself and what I plan to do:
This will be my first DSLR. I eventually want to get into portraits and wedding photography so I thought instead of buying a crop sensor why not get a full frame camera and start learning from there and investing in glass since eventually I'll end up there anyways.
I won't be taking any sports pics, just wedding and portraits eventually after I learn enough working with the camera, workshops, books, and so on (maybe sometime down the line).
Reason I'm about to purchase the D610:
My friend is selling it to me for $1200 body only (He's moving up to a D800). He's a Nikon guy and raves about Nikon. From all the reviews I've seen, the image quality has always been a strength.
My Questions:
Since I'm new to DSLRs and I don't own Canon or Nikon or any glass and I was curious about the Canon 5d Mark ii. I plan on keeping the Nikon D610 for a few years until I'm ready to upgrade. For weddings and portraits, is the 610 on par or better than the Canon 5D Mark ii? I know the Mark ii is a few years old but I was curious with the proper glass and techniques (I know it's the photographer and their technique that's important) if the Nikon 610 is a better camera or capable of doing what the Mark ii can.
This is going to sound silly and totally coming from a newbie but I love the wedding pics I see on 500 pix with the Canon Mark ii. I'm sure the Nikon D610 takes just as good pics but I wanted to get some confirmation.
I'll be using the camera mostly for pics 90% of the time and the rest some video.
Let me know if you need any more information from me and thanks for all the help.
