Obviously I am new here, and I apologize for probablly asking the same question hundreds of asked before...but I am essentially stuck.
I have been a fan of photography for years, generally messing around with my little Casio Exilm 7x Zoom digital camera...and in doing so, I have managed to take a few 'pretty' photo's...
But, my desires are changing and my camera is aging.
I have been, and will always be, a lover of natural beauty. Being outside and away from civilization/mass buildings and cars is my ideal place due to the sheer beauty of nature. And one of the most perfect aspects of it, to me, is storms. Lightning, tornado's, heavy rainfall...yadda yadda.
Anyways, what I am trying to get at is I am starting to look for a camera that will enable me to adjust, change and perfect settings while trying to photograph lightning (as well as being able to take normal photo's).
I have been looking around and I cant find really anything that sticks out to me...
So far, I have looked at
Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera with Nikon AF-S VR DX 18-55mm lens
Nikon D3100 DSLR (would buy a shutter release as well)
But I am sure there are other options. Maybe I simply havnt looked around enough?
Anyways, price range would be topped at around $600...I would prefer not having to spend much more than that.
