Help with picking my first DSLR?
I’ve decided to study Photography, and i have some difficulties in choosing my first DSLR. My choice was Nikon D90, MYR 4500 at least. My budget was MYR 2000 – MYR 3000. It’s MYR 1k more. It’s way too expensive and totally out of budget for me.
So now I’m choosing between Nikon D40 and D60. I’ve read Ken Rockwill’s reviews, and I notice that he wrote many good reviews on Nikon D40.
And if I were to take either the Nikon D40 or D60, the kit lens will be 18-55mm. Is it better that I take the kit lens or should I change the lens to 18-200mm?
Can anyone give me some advise on whice DSLR should i buy?
Advance thanks to you guys!
If I were to upgrade my DLSR in the future, will the lenses can still be used on other Nikon’s DLSR?
First check with your school. Do they have their photo students start out learning traditional photography using film cameras? 4×5 view cameras? 35 mm SLR’s? If so, save your money and buy the camera you need. Then later when you do need a DSLR, the technology will be even better than it is now.
That said, in the digital arena, you will be changing camera bodies every 18-24 months, the only constant are the lenses.
If you do buy a DSLR for school, the best value is the Nikon D40 with a 18-55 mm and 55-200 mm VR lens for under $500 on Amazon.
If you can afford the 18-200 mm VR and the Nikon D90, that would be a perfect combination … I know, I got to use my 18-200 mm on a friends D90 … amazing.

Wedding Photography, Beltpack or Slingpack?
I am wedding photographer and have a very old, very large camera bag that I love, but just isn’t practical or attractive. I am looking into a new bag, and am thinking about a sling, such as: http://products.lowepro.com/product/SlingShot-350-AW,2117,4.htm. However, after reading some reviews by Ken Rockwell, I was wondering if a beltpack might be more practical for me. I want a bag to carry around my camera, 3 lenses, flash, flash bracket, batteries, charger, SD cards, etc, etc…. What are your thoughts?
First of all I have to say this.. I am not a wedding photographer, I have never shot a wedding, I have turned down many weddings, and I do not want to be a wedding photographer. I however respect what you do and hope I can offer some advice.
If I was a wedding photographer I would hope to have my Canon 1 series and 24-70mm f/2.8 round my neck for nearly all of the service. On my back I would have the Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW..

In there I would have spare batteries, cards, additional flash, 16-35mm f/2.8 L, plus 50mm f/1.4. If you are well established then you can afford to hire an assistant to carry all this for you. I would possibly carry my backup body (maybe a 30D or 40D) in the backpack as well, but this is of course extra weight to carry, I would likely keep it in the car.
So there is my answer, I’m ill informed because I have never shot a wedding, but if I did, then that is what I would carry and that is the bag I would use.
