D40 vs Nikon D80, which?
OK, I need your help! Currently I have a Nikon D40 with 18-55mm lens, a 55-200 lens and a Sigma 70-300 mm AF. Ago I recently saw an ad for someone selling a Nikon D80 with a 18-200 mm AF VR. I contacted him, and I'm supposed to meet tomorrow to look for your purchase in and possibly. After doing some research last minute, I'm torn. In addition to the mega pixels, I do not see much difference in these cameras. I have read the D80 has a point detection system 11 f and D40 has only 3. I spend my money? I go to a D80 would be an upgrade, now I'm not so sure. Such Once I should invest in a new 18-200mm VR lens and ignore the camera body. See! So I need help! I'm so torn!
I'm not a professional photographer, more However, an amateur beginner with a passion for perfection when it comes to my photo. Thank you all in advance. (Incidentally, the D80 is not quite 2 years old and has 14,000 shutter actions. He is asking $ 1000 for the team. Includes a flash.)
I think it's a little high, the goal is good, but the body not make this sharing a murderer. Unlike film SLR, the drop in value quickly and digital camera. Never mind that the body is two years old, reality is four years since it was launched in 2006. Therefore, no matter whether it is new in box, never been touched is old technology. The D80, while a good camera not even enough for an entry-level body like the nikon d3000 or ISO 5000 with high / low light. Although it would be nice to get rid of the two lenses you have now, to substitute a 18-200mm lens, do not think this deal is off. Keep your body today, and get the new glass if that's what you want. but if you have 1,000 to spend, Why not use that either to a Nikon D90, the sensor is much better, so its low light / high ISO night will be much better, and video shoots.
