[QUOTE="FrankDTank, post: 349721, member: 30826"] I have been doing quite a lot of reading and research trying to narrow down which camera to purchase as my first DSLR. I will be coming up from a point and shoot and have played around a touch with changing the settings on this basic camera. My interests now are most likely landscapes, photos during travel and maybe macros in the future. I was originally considering a D5300 with a 18-140 lens, but it isn't exactly cheap considering many people seem to believe it can be quickly "outgrown". I have also been looking at 7100 with same kit lens and wonder if this will be too big of an investment since I will be a new photographer and may loose interest in the hobby. I have also considered buying a 3300 or 3200 refurbished to learn on and eventually upgrade to a d7100. I handled the 7100 and the 5300, D3300 and D3200 and it certainly feels more substantial and sturdier. I keep going back and forth and am probably spending too much time thinking about it. What are your thoughts? D3200/d3300 Maybe 5300 because of bracketing? D7100 or 7000 Lens choice? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
