Strap Nikon

Nikon 40 D or 90D Which should I get?

I really want to start a small photography business shooting weddings,seniors, families etc.... I am strapped for cash and have my heart set on the Nikon d90,my question is will a cheaper d40 do the same thing.What are the biggest advantages of the D90? Better image quality?And what other equipment will be absolutely necessary?

D90
PROS:
1. Fantastic set of separate buttons on the camera to control parameters like ISO, white balance, metering, autofocus, image quality, shooting mode, etc.
2. Two command dials
3. High resolution 920K pixel LCD screen (like the one on the Nikon D300)
4. 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor
5. Low noise high ISO capability (for low light shooting) I can shoot ISO 1600 with good image quality with this camera, while on my D40x I could only shoot with ISO 400 and obtain acceptable IQ. I will even use ISO 3200 frequently with very usable results!
6. Separate top-viewing LCD screen in addition to the rear high res screen, to show shooting parameters constantly
7. In-body focus motor which allows the use of Nikon's non AF-I/S lenses, including wonderful and CHEAP prime lenses such as the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (~$100 lens!)
8. Continuous shooting of 4.5 frames per second
9. Small size, although larger than the D40/D40x/D60, it is still substantially smaller in the hand than the D300/D3
10. 720p 24fps MPEG video shooting capability with incredible ability to use depth of field that I cannot achieve with my Sony High-Def camcorder.
11. Eleven auto-focus points (not as nice as the 51 points on the D300, but substantially better than my D40x with its 3 points)
12. GPS option
13. HDMI output
14. Enormous number of options to customize camera and shooting settings to fit your style of shooting
15. Fantastic image quality right out-of-box if you don't want to do any post processing
16. Terrific build quality
17. Top notch camera ergonomics (but this will be a very personal opinion that differs for each shooter)

CONS:

1. "Rolling shutter" phenomenon while recording video: The D90 CMOS sensor has the same problem that other CMOS video recorders have when recording video. If you move the camera, especially horizontally, you get a "jelly" or "rubberbanding" effect where the image wobbles significantly. It is nice to have the video features, which looks very sharp at 720p, but it is NOT a substitute for a video camera. If you use a tripod, and do not do quick zooms/pans, the video quality is excellent. Without a tripod, however, you may get nauseous watching a wobbly video. The sound is also in monoaural.
2. 1/200 flash synch: Not a problem for me, but it might be for you.
3. No weather sealing: This is found on the Nikon D300/D3 and even on similarly priced models from other camera companies
4. The buffer will fill up after about 8 continuous RAW + JPG (FINE) shots. This number differs depending on the shooting parameters that you will choose. If you shoot primarily JPG, the buffer seems to allow a very large number of continuous shots, but I have not quantified this for JPG only.

I need a good lens for a Nikon D40?

I love photography! I have a great point and shoot camera, but I want more. I hope to take a photography class in the very near future. In the mean time, I found a Nikon D40 on Craigslist that includes: Strap, USB Cord, Charger, Video Cable, Battery, Cap, 1 OEM Battery and 1 Adorama Off-brand Battery for a total of 3 batteries, and tripod. The camera is like new and was just used for a photography class.The whole bundle is $300. I does not come with any Lens. How much is a starter Lens? Is this a good deal? What Lens should I get? Is this even a good camera? THANK YOU!!!!!

1) How much is a starter lens?
--If you're willing to buy used off eBay, you can acquire an 18-55mm AF-S lens for around $70, usually in brand-new or near brand-new condition. What happens is when people upgrade, they sell their old lens at a low price. A great second lens is the 55-200mm VR lens.

2) Is this a good deal?
--I would say it's above average, since you get 3 batteries. A new camera with 1 battery and lens would be $500. The tripod is likely to be not too good. Essentially, it's like getting a $150 discount.

3) What lens should you get?
--Get the classic entry lens, the 18-55mm AF-S. An affordable second lens is the 55-200mm VR lens. After that, additional lenses will depend upon your needs and budget.

4) Is this even a good camera?
--It's an excellent camera and will definitely work in your photography class.
