Hi Nikon Shooters,
I'm going to give Nikon land a whirl since Bob has kindly sold me his 18-200 VR. Now I just need to find a body to go along with the lens! Would like your advice on which of the small Nikon bodies to buy.
From all that I've read, it seems like the old D50 might be a better choice than the newer D40/D60 bunch as the latter cameras don't autofocus with the non-AF-S prime lenses. I'd like to just have a very minimal kit with the 18-200 and a couple of small primes for low light and macro.
What do you think, would I be better off with the D40X or D60 and living with manual focus or dropping back to the D50? Cameta Camera has some new and refurb D50's right now, so that's why I'm pondering.
Thanks for any advice,
Joan
