[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 305156, member: 13090"] I shoot with a D7100 and my girlfriend shoots with a D5300. Having had ample time to play with both, I have to say the real winning combination is the D5300 with the 18-140mm. I say that without taking anything away from the D7100. The '7100 has more options and more stuff that I like but if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the '7100, or if your budget is a concern for this purchase, the D5300 is an outstanding choice. If you've got the scratch, the '7100 still rules in my book but if I couldn't have my '7100, I could be very, very happy with a D5300; it's just THAT good. As for lenses, I'd suggest getting the 18-140mm "kit" lens for starters if you can; that's an amazingly good and flexible lens. For your second, I would suggest the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G. Either the D5300, or the D7100, paired with those two would make for an awesome combination. [COLOR=#ffffff]... [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
