My mom says that she is going to get me a new camera. So I have looked at the nikon D300 (which is why I said under $ 1,500, the nikon D300 is $ 1,469, and by the looks of it, her getting the D300 is a maybe). I want to know if there are any other nikon cameras as good or almost as good as this camera, at a lower price.
I have heard people mention the D70, D80, and D90.
Please go into detail as much as possible.
Answer
For that money, I would opt for the D90 with its standard 18-105mm VR lens (that is equivalent to a 180mm telephoto lens on a film camera... That is a lot of lens, and the "kit" comes in at about 1200 or so. That leaves money for the UV Filter (to protect the lens) and a camera bag. If you are not used to using telephoto lenses, you are going to have real trouble shooting decent pics...camera movement is a biotch with telephotos! The lens is standard at about f4.5 in telephoto setting. The D90 has a focal plane shutter, shoots 4.5 pics per second in action mode (will also do movies)...and has the option of Live View for shooting! This one is really good where you have to shoot fast and easy...this camera is extremely fast on autofocusing, and has full manual over rides on all functions, including white balance, ISO, focus, aperature, and shutter...it also has shutter priority autofocus, aperature priority autofocus, etc. This is one hell of a lot of camera, and the price cannot be beat...you can force the ISO to 3200 !!!!! Normal shooting ISO ranges between 100 and 1600...very very fast! You no longer need the huge, heavy lenses for shooting. In sports shooting, you will rarely be afforded the luxury of a tripod for stability, so you need a very fast camera to offset camera movement. VR lenses are good for up to 3 shutter speeds once you learn how to use them!
The camera can grow with you, for there is a full range of lenses (all Nikon lenses fit this unit). Coming in at 12 megapixels, it is one fine camera, terrific at fast autofocus, and 11 differnet methods of autofocus you can set. It has a sports simple setting on the shutter/focus knob...how easy can it get? I seriously doubt you could outgrow this camera. Happy Holidays.

Best Camera for Sports Photography?

For my school, I am taking pictures for our baseball team. I am looking for a camera that I can use that is under 1k. I would like to know which lens I should buy. I can buy a short and a long lens and any links with reviews will be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
For your baseball team shots, look at a Nikon D3100, coupled with a Nikon 55-300mm vr lens.
Here's a couple of reviews for you.

The camera, with an 18-55mm VR zoom lens, is $650 from Amazon.com

And the 55-300mm lens is $310.

That gets you a nice 18-300mm setup for under $1000.
By the way, the D3100 has better resolution than the D300 that I use professionally.
