grahamc Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 After the last few motorsport events I have been to, I am looking to upgrade my camera. I currently have a D40x body, with a fish eye and 300mm lense. What should I be looking at moving to? I personally like the look and spec of the D300... Should I consider one of the older but higher spec cameras? Like the D2X or similar? Will my 2 current lenses swap to the new camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What are the lenses you have, are they a good spec ? I decided to splash out on some L series lenses for my old low end canon slr body and it made a huge difference to the shots i took, i only upgraded recently as i take a lot more pictures now and need a few of the extra features that my current one couldn't give me. What are you planning to do, will you need the extra functionality an upgraded body will give ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Graham i'd say that the D40x should be more than enough for what you need, anything above the d40 range would be a waste of money imo as the picture quality will be no different(or far from anything dramtiacly different) the more expensive range are just easier & faster to change settings I'd upgrade the lenses personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Have decided to upgrade the memory cards. Just been reading up on the class ratings of them, so going to give that a go first. Cheapest item to replace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Have decided to upgrade the memory cards. Just been reading up on the class ratings of them, so going to give that a go first. Cheapest item to replace! Good plan BTW, the class rating doesn't tell the whole story, as it just specifies a minimum speed - some of the class 6 cards are a lot faster than others. Sandisk Extreme III are good, I've been using the 2GB cards in my D80 since I got it, no complaints at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an actual write comparison through google, which said Kingston was on top. So I am looking at these. Does the size of the card make a difference, as I am considering the 8gb ones. http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC/Kingston/Kingston-SDHC-Cards---Class-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
