the $1,000 Camera

[chuasam]

Let's say someone dropped USD 1,000 on your lap and told you that you could buy a camera.
You have to buy a camera, and can't put it on lenses or accessories.
You can't add some of your own money or keep the change.

What would you get?
Why would you get it?

 

[runnah]

I'd buy a drone or a flir camera.

Because they are cool.

 

[SCraig]

Nikon D7000 or D7100.

 

[mikoh4792]

d7100. Infact.. One is on the way!

 

[goodguy]

What the other 2 guys said NIKON D7100!!!

 

[Trever1t]

used D700

 

[pixmedic]

you might be able to find a used D600 for $1k if you hunt around. That would be my first choice.
barring that, a used D700 would also be a great camera, and you certainly could not go wrong with a used D7100 and get the new 51pt AF module and 24mp unfiltered sensor.

I'd rather spend the money on a photo trip. This question reminds me how people obsess too much on gear and not enough on the image.

The money would have to be for a camera.

My point is why spend more time thinking about the equipment you want, spend that time on the images you can make.
