Hi All,
Within the next week I will be purchasing the Nikon D5300 as my first DSLR camera, but I am stuck on what lens kit I should get with it.
Option 1. Nikon D5300 with Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens - $805 Australian
Option 2. Nikon D5300 with Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VRII, and Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens - $839 Australian
The main reason for getting the camera now is that this time next year I'll be away on our honeymoon and I really want to get some memorable photos as we travel through Europe. I don't mind the idea of travelling with 2 lenses if they're the right ones that will cover almost all scenarios (portrait, every day, building, landscape). Excited about the purchase, and the learning curve that comes with
I've tried to do as much research before posting my stupid question (even posting on Facebook...to which most replies were unhelpful "Don't get a Nikon...get a Canon". Any guidance you can give around which kit would suit better and why would be appreciated. P.S > This is my first post having just joined the forum, please play nice with me (noob).
Thanks.
