Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I want to get my first DSLR and have narrowed it down to 2 camera's:
nikon's d5200 with 18-55 kit
canon's 700d with 18-55 kit.
I will be shooting sports, macro and mostly nature, I know...some macro is nature too.
these lenses won't be great for what I want to shoot, but they will get me started, but I will buy a telephoto lens later on.
My budget is around €550.
I have looked at sony's a58, but I really don't like the evf.
Video quality isn't important because I won't be shooting much video.
I hope I've given you guys enough information, if not, please tell me.
My current camera is a Nikon S2600
 
Can you get a used d 7000 for that budget where you are? It would be better than the 5x00 at sport shooting
 
Between these two options you bring here, I'd go with the Nikon D5200 (I have one in fact), but a 18-140mm lens would serve you better for sports (better reach), than the 18-55mm one, as an initial kit lens.
 
D5200 hands down, it has better low light performance and better dynamic range.
 
@IronMaskDuval, I don't like the bulkiness of the d7000 and I won't be shooting sports really seriously, just my brother playing soccer.
 
@ruifo I eventually will buy the Tamron 70-300 if I can buy one, but I can't buy one immediately because of limited funds. (I'm only 14 years young)
