I need to purchase a DSLR camera that will be used for family portraits, b days, holidays, and probably weddings at our church. I need a camera that will perform well in all of these areas. My budget is $1500 max. The cameras I am looking at are as follows.
Nikon D80 and D90
Canon XSI and 40D
Sony A350 and A700
I will be enlarging a lot of prints to 20 x24 maybe even larger so I need a camera that will maintain clarity at these sizes.
I am really leaning towards the D90 or the A700. I understand Sony doesn't have a big following and that is a factor with me as support on the net from other users would be greater with the Nikon. Is the D90 that much better than the D80? Will the extra megapixels be obvious in portraits this size. Also what would be a good flash to use for low light conditions?
Please just don't say Nikon, I would like to know why you would recommend them. I sure appreciate those of you willing to share your knowledge on this forum.
Thanks
Kevin
