I picked up a new d3300, prior to the I had a d60. I wanted the d3300 because of the video but there were also a lot of other upgrades that I received as well.
I had the d60 since 2008. I have ~7500 shutter clicks. When I was in school, I worked for the school media group and took pictures for the paper, sports teams, head shots, and marketing materials. I know the understanding of using a camera but I still have trouble putting all the steps together. More remembering to change each step before I start a new location.
Now that I am out of school, and starting a family, I want to be able to capture out events. I have the kit lenses for the d3300, the 18-55 and the 55-200. I would say currently 90% of my pictures are shot with the 18-55. I would love to get a good 24-70 with a low f stop but seems to be out of my budget. I am thinking about getting a prime lens with a f1.8 to hep in the low light situations and for good fov.
I don't have any particular subjects that I focus on currently. I plan to start shooting my hunting and fishing activities more though. Also want to shoot landscape and low light spots more. I have been spending more time doing time lapse too. I am really enjoying shooting video as well. I like to take short clips and put them together to tell stories.
I currently am trying to decide between the nikkor 50mm and the 35mm both f1.8. Seems both are the Sam enrich and I know that the d3300 magnifies the rating of the lens a little. I want to keep a good fov with having the ability to stop down to 1.8.
What lens would you suggest and why? Does one make more since with video?
