Magic


My girlfriend is a beginner this will be her first camera and i know for a fact she wants a DSLR not a digital compact camera. She really likes Nikon. A few months ago she we were looking at the cameras in bestbuy and she seemed to like the Nikon D3200 and the Nikon D5100....

I have no knowledge of cameras.. I have three questions...

1.Which one of these would be best to get her the Nikon D3200 or the Nikon D5100??

2. do all Nikon lens fit those or how do i know what lens to get?

3. Should i buy it from a store like best buy or see if i could find it on craigslist or ebay somthing like that??



Answer
I think The Nikon D3200 would be the best. The price is Good And it will be an easy camera to Learn with.
The Nikon D3200 Is a DX format camera. so it will take DX format lenses. Simple enough. Film lenses will also fit the D3200. If you are not up to paying for digital lenses. But the only downside to film lenses is that they are manual not auto.

I would buy brand new from either bestbuy or another store that sells cameras.
You should get a bundle with the camera. camera, lens, and some accessories. great deals.. Just look on best buy.com

Good luck.

DSLR kits/bundles vs buying separably?




Jack


So i finally have my list of camera/lenses and accessories i just need to buy them. But when i started peaking around it appears most find the kit lenses to be fairly crap compared to others on the market (18-55 mm lenses). My question is when i start buying in the next few months is it better to grab a bundle/kit or just buy the body and lenses separately do you lose anything by buying separately(cables, software, ect? Also what would be cheapest method since budget is to a degree a concern for me? have a budget somewhere around 800$ and plan on buying the nikon d5100. Bundles/kits all seem to come with the 18-55 When it seems id prefer the 18-135 unless you save money by buying the bundle/kit. (Links are fine but keep in mind i need a US version and sales wont do good if i end up having to wait a few months).- Thanks in advance, Jack.
Also looking at the 55-200mm lenses but keep in mind ive heard other companies can make better lenses (?). Mostly i just want the cheaper method without sacrificing the quality of coarse.(If thats the bundle/kits then just give me the word.



Answer
OK, lets get started with dealing with the crap kit lens
18-55mm one as you mention
Lets look at a better alternative
Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Lens
$1,399.00, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/300490-USA/Nikon_2147_17_55mm_f_2_8G_ED_IF_AF_S.html
Have to admit this one makes the 18-55 kit lens seem crap

Second, 18-135mm - there is no such Nikkor lens to my understanding (Canon make that one)
Nkkor have 18-105, 18-200 & 18-300mm
Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor Autofocus Lens
$396.95, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/582443-GREY/Nikon_2179_18_105mm_f_3_5_5_6G_ED_VR.html
But then this family should be crap, by your definition

You mention a budget of $800, so I'm afraid you dont have too many options
Check this bundle out,
Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm & 55-200mm VR Lenses
