I want to start taking some nice pictures and dont have any equipment. I have been reading and looking and have some questions for some of you. First off I am thinking of a Nikon D80. I dont know why except the specs look nice and it is priced a little more than the D60 and 40 but it is a big jump up after that. I am thinking of foregoing kit lenses and just buying the better glass up front. Should I just buy the D300 even though I know nothing about any of this stuff.
I have read where Casey had a lense that he had his wife exchange because it wasnt quite right? Did she get the same lense? Was the first one defective somehow? I am wondering if you can get a "bad" one.
Also I see Danny wanting to buy a new lense. From what I have been reading the "2.8" lenses are the better ones. He stated that he has a 80-200 2.8 but wants a 70-200 2.8. what is the difference where one is better than the other. I know that the 70-200 VR had the vibration reduction but other than that?
I would like to shoot outdoor pictures and want to buy a great lense for that. Suggestions please. 70 - 200 VR? Would I be better served to get a kit lense say a 18-55 and buy the good lense to cover my bases better?
Long read and thanks for your inputs. Some salesperson is going to love me.
