In Reply to: Well, even though I'm a Nikon user... posted by jj on October 22, 2001 at 13:49:19:
Hello Guys,thanks for the responses. I'll be able to check out B&H in person soon enough. Prelim hunting seems to indicate the N80 from Nikon for features and quality - the body these days is accessible at around $325!! The Minolta Maxxum 5 and 7 have amazing autofocus capabilities. I can't believe how fast they are compared to some of the pricier Nikons. Why on earth do big chains (best buy and the like) charge so much more than those funny places in NYC? gray market from below seems to indicate why.
I guess I'll have to check out Canon as well now.
On to the lenses - I like the idea below about picking up 28-105 lens. Makes more sense than a 28-70 or 80. Many of the camera stores seem to offer packages that look like pretty good deals. I think it wouldnt be too hard to not spend all that much more money and pick up a 28-80 and 80-200 or even a decent 28-200 lens...theres a Tamron 24-200 lens on the market but thats pretty pricey.
thanks for the help. i'm sure i'll have more questions.
regards,
chiggy
