[QUOTE="CarolinaFlyboy, post: 1962701, member: 670092"] The D90 is regarded by many professionals as something much like a toy. If you have the money, go for the D300. I currently shoot with a D60, the second-lowest model on the entry-level side of the scale, and I want to upgrade to the D200, the cheaper and older version of the D300. The D300 sports great automatic features from what I've heard, and also allows for complete manual control- much more manual control than the D90. If you're serious aout photography, you'll come to love shooting fully-manual and having complete control over what your camera produces. And even if the D300 was more expensive, I'd say go with that, because chances are, you'd want to upgrade from the D90. Better to get the best thing than to get the second-best and shell out even more money for the product that was better in the first place, when you wish to upgrade. The D300 would not be "too advanced" for you. I'd suggest you buy a book on the camera model, such as "Nikon D300 for Dummies" or some other similar title, that can help you figure out the control layout and options since you're new to Nikon's cameras. Any professional would pick the D300 over the D90. More options, more dedicated buttons, more control over every image. I hope this has helped you. Good luck and happy hunting! [/QUOTE]
