Best/most durable D-SLR camera for photojournalism student?
I will be studying in North Africa for the 2010-2011 academic year, and want to bring a camera that will survive the Sahara. I’d like to keep the price of the body below 2K if possible but want a professional quality machine. I’d love suggestions. The lenses I have now have been very abused so it doesn’t matter what brand as I have to start from scratch anyway.
I would recommend Nikon D300s 12MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera
