houstonwhodat seems to think professionally covering the NFL is akin to shooting a little girl's gymnastics.

Thanks. Looks like I need to start saving a bit more cash to get those.

I think that last picture needs to be marked NSFW.

My old Nikon d-70 shoots 6 mega -pixels and the images are fantastic I shoot around 12 mega pixels now and some of the Canons shoot 23 mega pixels. You can't email anything that size and you'll spend your life in post production. The high res cameras now are like the medium format film cameras of yesteryear. |

You can get by with a D-70 if you have to. Cameras now are investments like computers used to be. If you're gonna spend all that money try to get something that you won't outgrow in a year. Once he starts to get some amazing images he will get the bug and want better and better stuff. I didn't suggest he buy a D-4x where the body ix 6k. But he could get the same lenses that the pros use and come out with the same images. The body of a camera is nothing more than a storage for images whether it is film or digital. Of course now there is processing going on in the body too. It all comes down to money in the end. |

A used D-90 body with a 24-70 mm 2.8 would be awesome. Or go for the variable aperture 3.5-5.6 for like 250.00 |

I'm still shooting my Canon xT1, but I'd recommend anything in that line. Some people will tell you you have to go to the Mark series, but that's frankly bull. Like someone mentioned earlier, it's the glass. I've been a serious amateur (and now semi-pro) for many years and 90% of it is who's behind the eyepiece looking through what glass. The only thing I don't like about the current T series is that they use SD cards and my hands just don't fit those very well. With Canon coming out with their new T-5, look for the prices to drop on the t-3 and T-4s.

I just spent $300 of a 50mm fixed f/1.8 Canon lens, and I've been thrilled with it. No, at f/2.8 it's not as sharp on their L-series, but I don't shoot at f/2.8 that often. At f/4.0 it's one of the sharpest lenses I've used, including some of the L-series. |

I shoot professionally so I can only speak of what I know. Hell a major wire or sports agency won't even talk to a photographer unless they have certain equipment. That's why I have to have it. You can get by with a lot less. |
