Describe Yourself: Semi-pro Photographer

I shoot Model portfolio's as well as weddings, babies and kids.

This camera is the best bang for buck. I opted not to get the kit lens and got the 18mm-135mm, 50mm 1.8 and the Sigma 70-30mm...

The next set of glass that I will really invest are the 85mm 1.8 and the 12mm-24mm.

Some of the benefits that come with the Nikon system is the CLS. They can automatically trigger optically and when 1st starting out. You can save money on buy radio triggers which can with no effort run up to $600 in triggers alone. Even though I will be trying my hand at the ebay triggers and then once the budget allows go with the Cyber syncs.

Back to the performance. I have used this camera in all situations and no matter what when you get to low light it all goes back to your set glass. Glass that has a great 2.8 or in the case of 50mm 1.8 .. you can open it wide open. ... a fast lens is the other component of this. It has tracking and 11point focus system which works great.

I will say that I am excited that very soon if I look to bump up to full frame my upgrade will be to the D700s or x. Which will rumors report will have the D-movie mode.

Speaking of. Some purist will say that shoot video with video camera however technology is moving at the point where is a valuable feature to have even if for just capture a few moments or creating your next indie film. ... I feel as though this is the next progression to compete with the very great 5d mark II.

I love the color processing of Nikon over Cannon. I for a while had my ex's 5D and it had great resolution but the colors did not pop enough for me.

So just get the camera if you are looking to upgrade and you are basically getting the D300 for about $800 dollars less. . Use the money you save to get good glass and wait either til the end of the year or early next year if you must then up grade to full frame with Nikon gets the movie mode on the full frame series.
