Buying first SLR camera...is the D800 too much for me?
11 months ago

Brief history...just had a child. Had newborn pictures made. Got robbed with amount of money spent and little received. Always wnated a reason to get into photography and now my son is that reason. I really like the D7000, but the more and more I read about the D800, I want bigger, better, best. I plan on using the camera for my son at first and then branch out further into the unknown.

So my question is...should I go ahead and get the D800 (if I can find it anywhere) and grow into it? Or settle for the D7000, since it's still a very good camera)? This assumes price is not an issue.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
