New Camera Advice

billsteersnose

Hi everyone,
I have been messing around with a cheap enough digital camera for the past year or two and I was wanted to buy myself a proper SLR and begin to learn how to take some decent photos. A friend recommended either the Nikon D50 and the D70. I would probably be taking a lot of gig photos with a lot of movement. Does anyone have any recommendations on cameras or would one of the Nikon cameras be a good bet?

A few heads here do a good bit of gig photography, they should sort you out when they logon. The lens ($$$$) is going to be the defining factor here when it comes to quality, although some cameras are known to handle noise better than others when it comes to low light/high iso levels.

the lens is far more important than which camera body you use.

take pictures of them!

every picture doesn't have to be brilliant, if some are too dark, overexposed, blurred, delete them and take more
