Hello there
I finally have enough money to upgrade my gears, and I face several choice as to what to buy. I'd like to buy everything, but sadly, I am a poor student and so I'm on a budget.
Right now my equipement is the following
-Nikon D3000 body
-Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR lens (it came with the body)
-Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR lens
-A sigma polarized filter
-A UV filter
-An extra battery
-A small tripod
A lot of the photo I take are indoor during the night, so the lightning is very poor. So I must
1- Use the built-in flash, which create a not so pretty light
2- Cramp up the ISO to 800 and up, which make a lot of noise on my D3000
3- Slow the shutter speed so slow that I get camera shake and any movement is blurred
And even then, a lot of my picture are underexposed.
So, what should I buy that will improve the best those indoor photo?
-An external flash that I will be able to bounce on the ceiling such as the SB-400
-The Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens so that I can get a better aperture (and a better focus ring, the ring on the 18-55mm is quite hard to use and I hate it)
-A new camera body with lower noise so I can crank up the ISO (although that is quite expensive)
-A combination of the above
Thank in advance.
EDIT : added the tripod in the list of items I possess as of now.
