Best SLR camera for intermediate photographer?
I’m looking into investing in a good, solid digital camera for my photography needs (I used to have a Nikon DX, sister took it). Price isn’t a problem, and I would love to hear advice from professionals: Which camera is best for an intermediate photographer? Is the Nikon D90 good? Thanks!
Hello Sue,
I have to say the D90 is a fantastic camera for a intermediate photographer. You have the basics down by using the DX, so the D90 would be the next step. The D5000 is just below the level of the D90 and a D300 is a step above. Just released is the D300s.
One comment for boomn4x42 on the D40. There are large differences between the D40 and the D90. The amount of lenses that can be used with the D90 is far, far more than the D40. The D90 has a larger sensor and can remotely control off camera lighting with out a command unit. The D40 is a great beginner camera and I have bought 2 of them for my kids to take photos of their lives moments, and to build their skills.
