(all prices grabbed from amazon... just to make it easy for now, I will shop around and find the best prices later on when the time comes to actually make the purchase)


Buy a kit D70s with the 18-70mm kit lens (which is one of the sharpest glasses Nikon makes, the ED glass) and use the money for a high end telephoto with at least an F/2.8 . Trust me, you wont regret it. I dont see why you would need two prime lenses.

I must say though, I really love my D50, and Im planning keeping it as a back up for a long time to come. Oh and dont forget to factor in the cost of memory cards. You can purchase a few 1 Gigs, and utilize a photobank. I take my photobank with me on my belt and I have up to 80gigs worth of storage on the fly.
