Hi guys.
Having used P&S and bridge cameras for a while, I'm looking to take the next step and purchase an SLR.
I've been looking for some time at the different models, and my preference is towards Nikon. Specifically, the D3200 or D5100 as these are similarly priced with and without the kit lens and have fairly similar specs.
I'm also looking to get a couple of lenses as I like to shoot a variety of pictures, the lenses I'm currently considering are:
Nikon AF-S 35mm f1.8 G DX
Nikon AF-S 40mm Micro F2.8 G DX
Nikon AF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 G DX VR (possibly as part of the kit deal)
Nikon AF-S 55-300mm F4.5-5.6 G ED VR
As someone with next to no experience with DSLRs (I've used my dads film SLR a few times), I want to make absolutely sure of my choices before taking the plunge.
I'd just like to get your opinions to see if I'm heading in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
