Hi All,
I'm a pro photographer currently using an Olympus OM1 (which is built like a rock and small and sturdy and I love it), but I need to buy a DSLR because I think my clients look down on me for still shooting film with my old school camera.
I am torn between the D50 or D40 (both of which do everything i need, but maybe the d40 is no good because of the lack of a motorized auto-focus) and the D200, which looks more professional and has a metal body.
I travel, rather hardcore - like motorcyle trips across mongolia - and i had Panasonic DMC FZ20 which died on my last road trip. So I am also concerned about reliability.
ALSO, i saw a used D100 for the same price as a new D40.... anything i should be careful about there?
thanks
