After scratching my head and spending hours looking at different cameras I decided to settle for a model I used to use but never owned from quite a few years back. Time to step up the bike pictures. Planning on picking up the 55mm-200mm lense up as well.

Nice, looking forward to some photos. FWIW, I found the 55-200 waaaay too soft for good results. I don’t think it was a bad copy because my brother had the same experience with his too. Hands down the best lens for that camera is the 35mm f/1.8

I'm looking forward to taking them. I'll have to look into that. Was it the standard Nikon lense you were using? Will take a look at the 35mm lense.

Agree with above just get the 35mm and forget the rest.

I have a bag full of lenses and most of the time the only one that gets used is the 35

Yes, the Nikon lens.

I've often thought about getting a "proper" camera, but feel it would be wasted on me. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Slightly off topic but.....

Ken Rockwell is not well liked within the industry. Take everything with a grain of salt as its a very very bias opinion you are reading.

Zoom lenses are always going to be softer, compared to fixed. But with good quality zoom lens, you can still make a lot of good pictures, with far less weight, to carry around. I'm seriously considering giving up my dslr, just because I use it so little. I'd rather buy a superzoom, for my next photo camera. Much easier, to take on travels. Much more chance, that I'll actually have a camera with me, to take pictures.

My favorite camera of all is my Fuji X100S. I’ll be sharing some Photos soon that I took at Euro Bike Night in my next motovlog.
