Thinking of selling.
-
A few years ago I was a bit more active with learning photography as a hobby.
I had a nikon D60 with a kit 18-55 and a Tamron 70-200.
Was dead happy with these and 80% of the time was happy with my results. ( Not bad for an amatuer I suppose )
3 years ago I got the option of buying a Nikon D300 with an 18-200 nikon lens.
Was thrilled with it when I saw it as it felt so well built compared to the d60, and from reading about it prior to buying it I felt it was a decent camera.
Trouble is I seem to be struggling with it to get good results with it. Also I dont use it much and this furthers my lack of interest as when I do go out with it I feel my shots should be better.So comparing the two cameras.
D60 > Basic and more or less Point and shoot ( My impression )
D300 > More complex and is a bit of a learning curve. ( Again my impression)
So I have decided that I am going to sell the D300 and get something that would be very similar to the D60 only more modern.
I have over the years thought of selling the D300 but everytime I picked it up it just felt good and said “No, I will give it another go”
But I have finally decided it is a shame to have it thrown there when it could be put to good use by someone with more interest and knowledgde than I have.Two Questions.
1)
What would my D300 and 18-200 be worth ?
I just did a shutter count online with the last Pic I took and has only has 3258 actuations.2)
What would I buy to replicate the D60 and is simple to use?Thanks.
Hi,
I know I am not going to be much help in say this but did you try and swaping the lens around to see if there was a differenc in them as you may be more use the the lens you have. It may be some thing to try before selling these.
I would also tell you to keep the 18-200mm lens as its a very hand walk about lens I had one and sold it with a D90 and I missed having it and bought an other one.
Hope this may help you
Tony
