If you have the money go get it, otherwise learn with the d50 as it is a fantastic camera to learn on. IMO if you are learning you will be wasting your money on the D300. Again as for large prints you get about the same quality out of 6mp as film. That is an arguable statement but what the hell. I have also seen billboards done with a 2mp P&S so that shoots that out the window. The D50 should and will do fine with sports you just need to learn to shoot those sports, once your ability has grown so will your camera. As for me the D300 isn't really woth the investment above the D200 for me, hence I'm waiting for money to come in and then its all D3 for me. |
On Craigslist, there are a lot of people who are selling their D200 for about 900. Even though D200 is an awesome camera, I really love the D300 features. Then again, it might be months or years before I do buy the D300. |

I think it's great that you set yourself goals.
I just upgraded from a D50 to a D200. I don't expect to become a better photographer, but there were a few features I really wanted that just weren't available on the D50. And while I may not make better photos, there are a few photos that I'll get with the D200 that I wouldn't have gotten with the D50 due to where the controls are (D200 has much more stuff that isn't in the menus. A real bonus for me).
The real trick with the upgrade is that now I have to actually learn all the new features. But that's part of the fun for me. |
Nice. It is a lot cheaper to go to D200 than it is to go to D300. I imagine it is gonna be difficult to sell my D50 too. So I'll have two cameras eventually. However, I do agree with the majority of the people here. The camera is not gonna make me a better photographer. I just need to come up with some ideas ;p |

Footman, It represents that you have worked hard and learned something new. Believe me, those ribbon takers are very good photographers. When I look at the challenge results every week, it intrigues me. How do they come up with these ideas? Now, one or two people might get a ribbon here and there, but the vast majority of ribbon takers are putting a lot of effort into the challenge. I wouldn't dismiss them as "superficial.' |
I don't dismiss the photographers as superficial, just that the ribbon is superficial. I submit that there are a lot of great photographers on this site that will never ribbon. Yes, the ribbon winners tend to be good photos, I won't debate that.
As you grow, I hope that you'll learn that most good art is not pop art.
