[/COLOR] My wife wants to get into photography. Strictly of the kids now (portraits of them, plus 7 year old swimming and gymnastics), but is a stay at home mom and wants to eventually to family/baby shoots for family and friends for some extra spending money. Also would push her artistic side with some nature shots, but that is secondary. We're in the states, I was looking at starting out with a d7100 and a 35mm 1.8, as I've heard the 18-55 isn't worth much, and eventually getting a better zoom lens. I know the d3200 has some more user friendly features, are these worth getting the 3200 over the 7000 or 7100 as a starter DSLR? I want to make sure her starting out isn't so difficult that she looses interest early on, but also that she doesn't outgrow the camera too quickly and wanting something new in 6 months. Mainly looking for guidance. I'm okay with the extra cost of a 7000/7100 vs a 3200 or 5100, especially if that means I can buy some cheaper glass because they have the internal motors. Also going to get her a few camera books and sign her up for a photography class. [/QUOTE]
