Hi,
I normally shoot with a bridge camera but am getting increasingly unsatisfied with the results and find the autofocus isn't fast enough.
The answer i hope is move up to dslr, something i have been thinking about for a while.
The budget isn't large, thus i have been looking on WEX at the secondhand on offer.
Unfortunately the new 80-400 is currently above what i can spend.
So that leaves the combination of probably D90/D300/D300s as camera unless the new D7100 is far better. It has to be dx format. Combined with one of the xx-300 zooms e.g 18-300 / 55-300 / 70-300. Or possibly the old version of 80-400 but i've heard its not that great.
I do like the 300 f4 prime but which of the cameras mentioned would work best with it?
As you can probably tell i am a little stuck as to which path to take, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, George
