The D3000 will do everything you want plus more. I have a D90 and it does more stuff than I know what to do with. Its absolutly amazing though. You get that D3000 & you will be producing beautiful photos even if you are a camera noob.

thanks for the reinforcement. sounds good.

the replacement wheel (Weds rear wheel i curbed) and tire set me back 900+ this week

The D3000 will rock your world. I just have a measly D60, but it's already a fantastic camera. Night and day between that and point and shoots. Best part about these DSLR's... if I decide to upgrade some day, the lenses I am currently using will fit on any Nikon DSLR....

A buddy had a skyline with like real gears and battery packs and stuff pretty cool. He was drifting it all over the shop.

Fire · 05-25-2011, 03:11 PM

LOL i feel for ya Chops, we have had rain since it stopped snowing

Alchemy · 05-25-2011, 06:57 PM

Have you looked into the D5000 kenchan??? Its a little more but its more bang per buck than the D3000. You get a better CMOS sensor, which helps at high iso levels. Same CMOS as the D90 I believe, which is good. Plus you can shoot video with it!

Better pics everywhere esp in low light. Im no professional photographer so its hard for me to explain but it will basically clearer, crisper photos. Reduces what they call "noise" as well which is when a pic looks pixelated or fuzzy. If you dont mind spending an extra $200 its def way more camera. Plus like I said it shoots hd video. Look into it.

Red__Zed · 05-25-2011, 09:39 PM

Ken, probably worth stepping up to the 3100 at least. More recent version of the 3000

happytheman · 05-25-2011, 10:39 PM

Hmmm...D5000 - $599.....seems like a no-brainer to go the distance and get the D5000!

Ken, basically, ANY DSLR you will get is LIGHT YEARS more advanced than any camera you have used in the past. The pictures will be clearer, crisper, and will give you more flexibility for editing. And when I say ANY DSLR, I mean ANY brand, and any model within that brand.

Just take a look at them and pick out one that suits you and your budget. The HD video feature I wouldn't use as a determining feature. I'd rather use (which I have) a dedicated HD video cam for that. I want my DSLR to just be that, a great-picture-taking camera. Just my

on to topic... did nothing with Zena today. Might have a car meet tonight, so will wash her and put CG 50/50 on her as an LSP tonight...
