Nikon all the way my wife and I (mainly my wife) have a d90 and a d700. We wont shoot anything else.

canon eos 20d enought camera for me

 

[Misled]

Nikon D200, none so far under 600 bucks yet though. Might be for used.

Nikon D90 here. Got it refurbished for around $600, but I think I was a lucky one... Oh and that was just the body, no lens since I already had a couple.

 

[Reef Bass]

Canon EOS 50D

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Nikon D80 and Casio Exilium ex-g1 (waterproof).

Might upgrade to a D7000 though.

I shoot with a Canon 5D. I used to use a 7D as well but I sold that body.

I shoot with a Canon 5D. I used to use a 7D as well but I sold that body.

I am shooting a Canon 550d. Not trying to hi jack the thread, but why do you prefer the 5d over the 7d?

why do you prefer the 5d over the 7d?

Image quality is better. Even though I've got fewer pixels with the 5D, the full-frame sensor makes a noticeable difference. I'm also primarily a landscape shooter so the 7D's better AF/fps/ISO range really doesn't matter to me.

 

[createdlight]

my guess would be that the 5d is a full frame camera and not a crop

Nikon D50

Pentax K20d. easily found under 600. You can probably find a K7 body for 600. and Definitely a Kx for under 450.

I'm still using the K20d

I'm really wanting to upgrade to a Pentax K5 and NikonD700 combo!

D90 and D7000.

My wife and I share back and forth as the day goes.

Nikon D200 currently....pondering upgrade to D7000.....OR adding a Canon body and running two systems to tap the best of both worlds.

Choices choices.........and thousands of $$$$$$ that I don't yet have.

 

[sczlars]

I use a Nikon D300 and (usually) a manual focus 55mm f/3.5 micro lens.

for a <$600 setup, you could buy even an old D70, and use that lens on it in manual mode. That might run you about $300.
Takes wonderful images, on the cheap.

Idk what I was thinking... I thought the 7d was the full frame sensor...

D700 for me
but it's not the gear that makes the photos


Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View / D700 & 16-35 by JGI, on Flickr

btw, you can get a D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, D70, D70s, D50, D200 bodies for less than $600.

If you look, D90 bodies for $600 isn't uncommon now. I love mine. Just be patient.

A quick peek on Craigslist locally has one for $550 and one for $650 in the last day alone. One of the major camera shops here has one on it's used list for $499.95.

D70's are going for $200. With kit lenses for $300 or so.

Shop around and find one that will meet your needs. I've seen some pretty amazing shots with a D70 and a kit lens.

Somedays I wish I had followed my own advice. But I just love that the D7000 will let me meter with all my older AI-S lenses.

Canon XTI with 28x135 and 100mm macro. The macro lens is a killer!!
