Best priced Nikon DSLR to be used as second body for wedding work

11 years 11 months ago #228808 by MYoung
I've decided I should get a second camera body for shooting weddings. I currently have a D7000 and have put aside a budget of $1750 for another camera body. What is the best I can get that will work for what I need it to.

:P

For that budget, you can get a D2x, my camera two bodies ago, which I used for weddings.

You MIGHT be able to find a second hand D700 for that much. MIGHT.

If you have the full frame lenses, I'd say D700. The D7000 idea is a solid recommendation, too.....;)

Why so serious?

Ya i dont think it makes sense to have 1 full frame sensor and 1 crop sensor camera. Youve already got the crop sensor camera, and probably the dx lenses... so it makes sense to go with the similar sensor.

Of course, if your not in too much of a hurry i expect a D7100 in the not too distant future :)
