Hi all,
I am urgently needing some advice about which of the above digital SLRs to buy (the Nikon D80, D200 or D100).
I have just started a photographic course, and am also doing work experience with a professional wedding photographer. I am taking my own shots at weddings and will in the near future be doing some freelance work of my own.
I have searched on Ebay for the D80 and the D200 (which are both pretty expensive! - I can't afford new ones but might be able to stretch to a secondhand Ebay one if need be). My photographer uses the D200 and she recommended to me either the D200, D80 or D70.
But today I called a Cash Converters store which has a D100 in as-new condition, with two lenses and original kit including software, for around AU$1000. Unfortunately I don't understand the fundamental differences between these three models.
Questions:
1) Is the D100 a higher model than the D80? (Prices would indicate yes, but I don't know enough about technicalities to judge by specifications)
2) Would the D100 be sufficient for my needs?
3) Is this D100 (from Cash Converters) a good deal?
4) If not, what is the best solution you could recommend?
5) Is there any problem with swapping the lenses that come with the D100 between a Nikon F80 SLR camera as needed?
Thanks in advance to everybody who takes the time to help me in this - I really appreciate it!!!!
