I feel like this is an appropriate place to post this thread but here it goes:
I'm looking at the 4 cameras listed above. I have 4 options; buy the D3200 and get more lens for my money, or get one of the other three bodies and get an alright lens.
Where I'm coming from: D5100 with 18-55 kit lens, I just sold that tonight, and I have a Nikon 50mm 1.8g arriving tomorrow. I shoot pretty much everything but mainly enjoy foresty/landscapes, sometimes indoor/outdoor sports(I'd enjoy it more just not with an 18-55 3.5-5.6 lens) and travel/walkaround. Weatherproofing on the 300,300s, and d7000 are very attractive...
Where I'll start now: I'll have the 50mm prime, and a budget of $615
Lenses I've been looking at: Nikon 16-85 3.5-5.6, Nikon 18-70 3.5-4.5, and the Sigma 17-50 2.8
I'm not really looking for a telephoto at this moment as I'd rarely use it compared to a wider angle(DX crop though, so 127mm, 105mm and 75mm respectively) Only con about the sigma is that I already cover the 50mm range, but pro is that its a wider angle at f/2.8 compared to f/3.5.
I'm leaning slightly towards either the 300 or 300s mounted with the 16-85 or the 17-50...
Side note: I'll be buying used
