After a couple year hiatus from making 360 tours I want to get back in the game. I have a nikon coolpix 5400 which by now is old news and makes less than stellar tours. I want to upgrade my equipment so I can make Hi Def tours. What camera and lense do you recommend? Also what rotator are you using? I try to search on google but I get lost in thousands of nonsense websites,

Smooth, I have only really used Nikon products. I have no reason's, thats what I have just ended up with. If you know of something better let me know.
edit: I should also add that I am looking for the most inexpensive options then I can go up from there. I am back in school now to am am pretty much the epitome of "broke college student". All this equipment will be purchased with a credit card (and hopefully paid off quickly with some VT jobs).
As you can see I use the D300 w/ the Nikkor 10.5 Fisheye lense,( Ihave a D5000 as my secondary shooter. But I started out with the Sigma 8.mm and still have it
I can save you some cash if you want to buy it for $600 regular price is $899 see the link here to B&B Photo Sigma 8mm EX DG Fisheye Lense
Nothing wrong with the lense just sitting here in a drawer in it's case. I'm about to put it on ebay
Just a thought
And the link I posted was tons of info from Smooth and he has helped me tremendously with tutoring and I have gotten so much better
Let me know
Lee

Smooth can probably answer the D3100 question , but it's not to far off from the D5000

The D5000 was a quick shoot today outside my house, I'll shoot another set.
The D300 is a superior camera to the D5000 I have it as a backup but primarily shoot with the D300
