TPF Noob!
Hey everyone. I am wanting to get into the DSLR realm of photography. I have used point and shoot cameras for a while, but would like to be able to take and adjust the shots I take of my family and so on. I have been looking on slickdeals for blackfriday sales and have come across 3 Nikon sales so far that have peaked my interest (have always been a Nikon fan).
Walmart - Nikon D5100 with a 55-250mm lens for $499
BestBuy - Nikon D7000 DSLR with 18-140mm VR Lens $799 or with a 55-300mm VR Lens, 32GB Memory Card and Camera Bag for $1099.96 (not sure if I want to spend that much at this time)
BestBuy - Nikon D3200 with a 18-55mm VR Lens, a 55-200mm Lens, and a 16GB memory card $499
These are only the ones I have been looking at so far, and I am sure there will be more deals released in the coming days before black friday, but I need your help! I have been reading reviews on the various Nikon models (D3200, D5100, D5200, D7000) and I am having a hard time deciding between them. I was leaning more towards the intermediate level DSLR D7000, but from the reviews I have read the lens that comes in the kit doesn't do the camera justice and a 2.8 around $1k is required to truly unleash the camera.
What about you guys, what would be your opinion? Thanks!
