Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Alright, so I've kind of narrowed my camera choice to either the Nikon D5100, Sony A57 and the Nikon D3100.
If I get the d3100 I can get the 18-55 and 55-200 lenses.
If I were to get the D5100, I could get one of the previously listed lens.
I'd like to keep the A57 in the list, but I can't find it anywhere refurbished.

I can obviously get some sigma lens or some other Nikon, but from some researching, it seems I should just stick with those two lenses at first. I'll be shooting longboarding tricks and downhill longboarding videos mainly, but I will be shooting anything I can find. Next, I was looking at ND filters, and have NO idea which stop to get. I know there's not really a simple answer to this, but is there any you guy's have had good shots with just in normal daylight. I have an ok tripod, so that will work fine until I can get a good one. I already have a SanDisk class 10 16gb ultra card, which i use for my GoPro, but I'll just get 1 more card. I'm gonna get an extra battery, and a bag. I think that pretty much covers the basics of what I need on a 15 year old minimalist price range:lol:
