I am totally new to dslr. I have an old nikon N70 with a Sigma zoom 28-80 mm lens and a Nikkor AF 70-300 lens. I am looking for a camera that will take good action shots as well as good portraits and will be good for my trip to Africa in a couple of months. I am not very experienced but learn quickly so I am not scared off by a more advanced camera.
I bought a d3200 on a whim that came with two kit lenses--Nikon DX afs 55-200 ED VR and 18-55. Since then I was looking at the d5200 for faster action shots and then the d7000 or d7100 since they will autofocus my old lenses.
So I guess my question is what should I buy? I want something that I will be happy to use in 10 years. I like to shop with my wallet in mind but also like to take cost vs. benefit into consideration. My thoughts at this point are either go for the D5200 (close in cost to the d3200) or get a refurbished d7000 body for around the same as the D3200 with two kit lenses that I have but can return.
Are my old lenses worth using? Should they influence what I buy?
Thanks for any help!
