So I been traveling a lot with family and the pictures that we are taking suck, we have a point and shoot camera 15 mp and the pictures are not great, we saw my brother d3100 pictures this weekend and pics were good (pretty good) compared with out point and shoot camera... So Im not a photographer nor I like taking pics of random things to sell them, I just want a camera to take great pics of kids, family and vacation. I have around $1500 on best buy gift card so I want to get the best for my money.
So far i think i want a nikon i been looking at their DX format cameras, 3100/3200 , 5100/5200 and the 7000/7100... I will be taking pictures in parks, beaches, restaurants, etc.... I went to best buy and the first thing i noticed was the weight difference between the 7000/7100 and the others.. Which i read online is because they are made out of metal, so it will handle falls and abuse better than the other, also it has some kind of weather protection if i remember correctly, this in my mind is a good thing since i can take it to the beach (thing i do alot in our boat)... Like i said im not a photographer but im willing to learn... Also sometimes i have my mom take pictures of me and my wife, so i need something that its not super hard to take pictures on, like its auto focus must be good =), also im confused if i go the 7 series router which one to get.. People say that the 7100 is better but because it has higher megapixel it will show more my bad skills and lenses flaws... but not sure how true/false that is... I like that the 7100 allows me to plug a wireless adapter to it, to send pics to my phone, and allows me to remote shot with it... Thanks in advance =)
