>>3483443>D7x00 (i recommend 7200 and below)>Nikon 50mm 1.8 your choice on which one>Nikon 35 1.8This was what I used for shooting mostly bands in crappy lighting at night so you can absolutely use it too.
I would recommend against entry level stuff. Don't worry about it having more bells and whistles, you're gonna wish you got that pro'er body with the extra buttons after going into the menu for the 50th time. A camera is not hard to learn to use.
Also an extra tip: don't let any faggot boss you around, especially if you're not getting paid.
Tell the fag you don't give a shit if Stacy and her jpg-shooting, auto-lightrooming, rebel-using ass has them ready the same day. Don't let him tell you how to shoot either, let the fag get a camera and do it himself if he thinks he can do better.
Have fun dude, that's what matters.
