I'm not an expert, but I do think that your $3k number you mentioned is best spent buying a good, used $500 body and the rest on glass. The shots that we all like on here are pretty much all shot with bodies that are several-to-many years old with $3-20K of glass and a high-end tripod. They are not the snapshots you and I get while wandering around in the woods; they are bowhunting with a camera: it just takes longer to set up for a photo shot than a bow shot, and you need better light.
so im caving on just spending the money on getting a nice camera for outdoor photograhy , every time im out i see alot that i want to take pics of but i dont have a nice enough camera to do it with , so tell me what is good to get im looking at nikons ?? My wife is starting to slowly get into professional photography as well but mainly of my kids and as she gets the hang of it and better at it she will be offering her services , she keeps looking at a $3000 canon mark 3 for doing profesional pics of my kids , as all the times and money she has gone to professional photographers is really adding up in my wallet , seems like every month i have to spend money to get pics of these kids She seems like she has it all figured out on what she wants to get so my question would be which is better a nikon or canon and which models for me to do some outdoor photography when i am out in the hills and woods???
I have always heard it's more about the glass... So if I take my Nikon D60 10.2MP from 2008 and put good glass on it then it will be capable of taking excellent shots?
Thanks for the good info BC.
