[QUOTE="CyHawk, post: 106632, member: 12591"] Hello everyone! New to forums I could use some advice. I want to get into photography and I am looking for my first dslr camera. My wife has a D5100 so I guess I am getting a Nikon so we can share lenses. My wife likes to shoot nature, our 7 month old and sometimes she will show up at the school and take some pictures of the football game. I am interested in the same. I have been looking at the D5100 or the D3200. With the 18-55 kit they are basically the same price, around $600. Refurbished ones are even cheaper. I have a friend who upgraded from a D90 to the D7000. He is willing to sell me his D90 for $600. It comes with the 18-55 lens, two batteries, charger, 4gb sd card, manuals, dvd’s. I’ve read through the D90 and D5100 forms and everyone seems to love both cameras. So my questions are; 1. Price being the same, what camera would you recommend? 2. Would you purchase a refurb? Why/why not? 3. With the D90 being a non-entry level camera, would it be harder to learn on? 4. I was reading a review on the D5200 and the reviewer said to “forget the ancient D90, which is a leftover from a previous decade; the D90 trails these new cameras in every respects but costs the same.” Seems like a harsh statement about the D90. Any comments from someone who owns a D90 and a D5100/D3200? Thanks for your time! James [/QUOTE]
