Hi everyone. I'm new to DSLR cameras and looking at buying a 7200, but I have some questions.
My family and I (wife and 3 kids) do a lot of camping, hiking, exploring etc. We like to take lots of photos while we are out, and recently I've had an interest in wildlife photography. We live on a large lake with lots of opportunities for daily viewing birds, deer, coyote, fox, etc.
I've been using a Nikon AW100 for several years, and my wife uses a D3100. She has 2 lenses, the kit lens and a Nikkor 55-300. When I began my interest in wildlife photos, I started borrowing her camera and mucking about with it. I spent $200 on a like new Tamron SP 70-300 and have been pretty happy with my results.
I think its time I get my own camera and have set a budget. My absolute stretch up to amount is $800. Looks like I could get a refurbished 7200 from B&H, or a brand new 5600. I think the 7200 would be better for me, but would I be better off with the newer tech of the 5600? Or should I look for something altogether different?
Thanks so much!
