ack! I recommended the D90 though didn't I?

and discontinued is prolly not such a bad thing, it means lots of them will be offloaded cheap. Good time to get a deal.

They only have used but yes your recommended the D90 lol just wanted to check the price...

Got yelled at by another friend for wasting money on a housing instead of getting good glass

www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p... Looks like you can get a protection plan on it for cheap though... opinion?

yeah well whatever camera you get it will be your starter camera and lose value in a couple years anyways. I wouldnt spend too much on it.

your lens well cared for are a lifetime investment though

unless of course you do like me and switch to Canon

hahaha ok so the D40 will be ok for starters huh? and for good lenses I should call them up?

call them up?

no I said for filters and stuff to get the right size you should call them up

for a lens, I would just get one with a nice range. top model series.

www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p... ?

personally I would accept something with less range but a faster lens.

I'm running into warnings on some lenses: "DX lenses are NOT recommended for use with full-frame digital SLR cameras" Do I need to worry?

yes

but a D90 is a DX camera

but yeah full frame camera and lens would be a better investment.

www.bhphotovideo.com/c/p... better?

ewww...sigma.

goes back to scouring

urgh why must it be so difficult to find a good lens that'll work for both the D40 and D90... so much for starting low and working up haha

"AF not supported by D40 and D60 cameras." it just gets deeper and deeper huh lmfao faaaak it I'll stick to the D90 like a good boy
