Hello,
I have got only analog camera yet.
Mostly I use video camera.
But some times also pictures needed especially for bird id.
Furthermore I take pictures from plants ( mostly orchids and ferns ).
So I made often pictures with camcorder.
But this pictures are much worse than an good camera like D80 and so on.
My camcorder takes only 1 Megapixel pictures. but even new camcorder take 10 Megapixel ( like Sony ), I think the pictures are much worse like a good camera.
Because I will use camera also in rain forest I think about metall body is better than plastic. So I would prefer D 300 than D 80 or D 90.
But more important are the lens.
I need zoom like 70 - 300 or fixed maybe 300 ?
e.g.
AF-S VR 70-300 mm/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
What is possible with such a lens especially in bad light conditions like in tropical rainforest ?
It seems better lens like 4.5-5.6G costs 10 x more ?
Which lens are used for plant pictures ( included detailed photo like spores from ferns also in bad light conditions like tropical rainforest ) ?
Most of my pictures are plants ( about 80 % ).
Best regards
Dieter
