should i get a D60 or a D3000?

The vibration reduction in Canon and Nikon are in the lens because it works better. Sony and other brands have messed up by putting the vibration reduction on the sensor. I have a Nikon D300S and I love the camera, but I will say that Canon are comparable and there is really no difference between the performance. I like more of the small things in the Nikons more such as the menus and the lens caps things like that led me to buying the Nikon D300s.

@WhatDigitalCamera Dang. Oh well. Once you have the camera, the way you pronounce it becomes irrelevant.

WhatDigitalCamera on August 29th, 2010, 6:49 pm

@McKIllaG5 Actually the US is pretty much the only country that pronounces it as ‘Nye-con’. The Japanese themselves tend to say Nee-con, so I guess we’re both wrong!

wtf? im american i do not know how much “30 pounds” is

benlyons83 on August 29th, 2010, 7:55 pm

Pc cord and the slowest is about 30 seconds

benlyons83 on August 29th, 2010, 8:09 pm

mmjk84 on August 29th, 2010, 8:33 pm

Although classes are always helpful don’t get me wrong!

Hey Rox, I have the D60 and it’s very nice camera to start with, you could go with the D40 since it’ll be cheaper. Since everything is starting to become digital you don’t necessarily need to take classes, you could just self teach yourself by using studying online forums, videos, blogs, books, etc. I have a few friends who are self taught and already have side businesses for weddings and modeling with big recommendations. Just my 2 cents.

Hello Roxystarr, If I were you I would start with a point and shoot. If you already have then you should try out the Nikon p80 NOT THE p90! (It’s not as good even though it’s a higher version.) Hope that helps! -RBSB

Did I miss it? Any mention of off-camera flash? Does it take a PC cord? What’s the slowest shutter speed to do time photos at night? Will it take a shutter cable or does it come with a remote release?

roxystarrr on August 30th, 2010, 12:29 am

i wanted to take photography classes but they are pretty expensive here. so my mom said no. but im really into it. and i wuld like a really good camera tht would last me a while and i culd start a porfolio.

DaKing402 on August 30th, 2010, 12:59 am

if you want to get into photography you should probably take a class, most classes start teaching you with a film camera. Once you’ve gotten that down you’ll know if you really want to get a good camera or what you want, such as when you’ll be using your camera so you can use that to pick your camera. If your not that into phototgraphy this camera would be good for the “average photographer”

roxystarrr on August 30th, 2010, 1:31 am

is this a good a good camera to start photography with??? or which one shuld i start with?

bigredrobot26 on August 30th, 2010, 1:57 am

Get a used D40 of ebay and a few lenses. The nikon budget slr’s are the top for learning on. You really cant go wrong with the D40 though, and add the 55-200mm vr.

papermarioa on August 30th, 2010, 2:24 am

Yes I agree with what you said 100%
It is a first class “Starter” DSLR much better than an E-420

Live View???

gilberto123456 on August 30th, 2010, 3:15 am

Does anyone else think, this is great camera to start with when getting into photography?

arroy624 on August 30th, 2010, 3:48 am

@Cagey75 i also like saying nye-con better. once a stupid guy tried to correct me about this… so what? at least i can take pictures much better than that guy.
