Wait.....camera crap out after so many shots? For real? Does that mean I should conserve my shooting of dumb stuff?Originally Posted by FlyingEMU05

i'd say d90 but i dont know much about camera bodies.
side note: almost have enough money to cop that sigma fisheye
Gabe, get the D5000. Honestly, people are loving that camera, and it has nothing to do with the video, nor the flip screen. It's D90/D300image quality and low ISO capabilities, in a body the smaller than the D90, but a bit bigger than the D60. I don't know how true it is, but I read onNikonrumors, that a pro shooter, went on a trip and forgot his backup cam (D300) so he bought a D5000. He ended up selling his D300 when he got home, and keptthe D5000 as a backup. If you can get it for a good price though, D90 for sure. D90 > D200 by a large margin in terms of image quality and high ISO.Originally Posted by mjbetch

It's just a life span estimate, but yeah, technically they could crap out on you after a long time, but in reality, There are pros that arestill shooting with old cameras and I'm willing to guess they shoot more on the daily than anyone here. Don't stop shooting just because of that.
Take an SD card to a camera shop and shoot with the D90 first. I remember your D80 ordeal.Originally Posted by mjbetch
^But no autofocus on the D5000. Definitely a turn off for me. Damnit. Time to get a D90!

hahaha i know right! i was just being dumb and i didn't know what i was talking about. i definitely should have stuck with the D80 ONLY if iwere to sell my D50. i was a total newb. shoulda just kept the D80 and sold the D50. hahaOriginally Posted by SaNTi0321

it depends on each camera. for the entry level models, they go anywhere from 50k-75k and hten the higher levels anywhere from 100k-125k+. at leastthat's what i've been reading on flickr.Originally Posted by NikeAirsNCrispyTees
Santi: I read that about the guy leaving his D300 in the hotel room drawer or something like that too! I think it was one of the guys that hosts DTownTV (for those Nikon shooters out there that don't watch, it's pretty cool. http://www.dtowntv.com/)
Nikon DSLRs are supposedly supposed to make it to between 75K and 125K shutter actuations before they need to be replaced.
My theory on upgrading bodies is that if you're going to do it (and you think that you'll upgrade again in the future) then you might as well just make the big jump. My birthday and Christmas are just days apart, so I'll probably ask my entire family to just give me money towards a D3 or D700 so I can go full frame. Until then, I'll just be saving money for the 24-70 f/2.8.
Does anyone else feel the same way?
you could always stick with some older primes and zooms. i want a d700 bad, but no way i can afford it right now... and prob not for another year(been sitting on too much credit card debt).Originally Posted by SaNTi0321
^ I don't think I'll ever go FF. I would like to, yes, but after the expensive body, comes very expensive glass.

I might end up getting a D70 for the electronic shutter ....
Make sync that much faster
