i have still an old d60 which is now 5 yrs old. but inbetween i have added lens, first prime lens and then a telephoto lens.there is so much thing to learn about. then i moved into flash, first woth single flash and then with multiple flashes. i used cheaper flash from yongnou.the point i am trying to say, unless u want to do it professionally i suggest you not to fork 3k in camera+ lens. instead diversify your skills, master first whatu have and learns things that you havent learn yet
