[QUOTE="§am, post: 114009, member: 9187"] Reading what you intend to use the camera for, considering your target audience too, and taking into consideration budget etc, I would recommend the D5100 above all your choices. It's current price is less than that of the D5200(!), and also the D3200, but it is a much more capable camera than the D3200. It will also allow you to learn more about photography shuld you wish to, and if not, the auto scene modes will hopefully help you get the picture quality you're after. The D7000 is probably (at the moment) a bit out of your league, but that doesn't mean to say you shouldn't consider it - you just have to ask yourself the question "will I really learn a lot about the camera and photography to use the features it provides, or do I save some money and go for something that I know I will use more". Also, start with the 'kit' lens that is usually bundled with the D5100 18-55mm, though nothing wrong with even getting a D5100 with a 18-105mm too. The 35mm prime is a very good lens, but you may want to hold off getting it in the first few months, so as to allow you to learn more about the camera before you decide the 35mm prime is what you want/need. The rest of my advice echoes what's already been said - shop around for filters, memory cards etc. [/QUOTE]
