You will notice a difference if and only if you get a good lens to go with it.
I have a couple of DSLRs a Nikon D2x and a Nikon D100 I also have a 70-200 f2.8 lens with vibration reduction. That lens was the best camera purchase I ever made. In general 30 feet isn't a large distance. But if you want to capture it well, you'll need a fast lens with a reasonable focal length. At weddings I often am not allowed to use a flash, there have also been sporting events and other things that I have shot where a flash is frowned upon. > -----Original Message----- > From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 12:49 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Cameras > > So now that my daughters are participating in schools plays and dance > recitals, I'm really getting frustrated with my current camera.
