[QUOTE="EddceLLent, post: 482779, member: 27342"] I got a D3300 with the 18-55 kit lens about a year and a half ago and later upgraded this to a Sigma 18-50 f2.8 lens (i.e. not variable aperture) - I could tell straight away from the weight difference that the Sigma lens was superior - and this performs much better in lower light if I'm indoors or if it's not during the middle of the day. In retrospect I wish I had got the body and the Sigma lens, but I was a total beginner to photography so I didn't know that back then :) The general advice is buy the best that you can afford...because if you don't then you'll just end up wanting to upgrade later anyway and so would've paid twice. I don't really do macro photography so can't advise on that aspect but nonetheless hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
