Hi there guys. I am new to this forum and was told this would be a fantastic place to seek advice and learn from the pros.
I started photography not too long ago and I'm currently using a Nikon D3100 with a Nikkor 50mm f1.8G lens. I do mostly general photography which is limited to shooting pictures of items such as perfume bottle, small electronic devices, drinks, sneakers etc. I don't do portraits or landscapes or wildlife photography or photography or any large items such as cars etc.
With my D3100, I manage to get pretty decent pictures but I would like to upgrade my body to something better. My D3100 does not have an articulating screen which is a bit of a problem as I have to get down low to look through the OVF.
I am currently looking at the Nikon D5200, D5300 and D5500. I would like to know what benefits will I get in terms of picture quality? Would my pictures using my 50mm f1.8G be any better than my D3100? Are there any other camera bodies I should be looking at? Mirrorless is an option as well but I will limit it to either the Sony A6000 or A6300. Going mirrorless will cost me a bit more as the lenses aren't widely available and making the switch would mean I have to look for new lenses.
