[QUOTE="aroy, post: 316658, member: 16090"] I still cannot fathom out why choose a D90 today. The D3300 has a much better sensor and will remain with you much longer. Any D90 you get at a reasonable price second hand will most probably be used pretty hard and not have much life left in it. So what to you get in a new D3300 . More MP 24MP. . More DR 12.8EV . Full HD video at 60 fps . A very light camera ~ 600g what do you loose . Capability to AF with "D" type lenses . Metal Body For a beginer the entry level cameras are an excellent investment. If after some time you think that DSLR is not for you, you can sell it off and loose much less money. You get excellent sensor and great video capability. The higher end models add features to make your life easier, but in no way shoot better images. For the lens choice you have to figure out what sort of photography you are interested in. For each type there are a set of lenses. Briefly . Landscape needs wide angle lenses with good linearity and minimal distortion. They need not be fast - F4 onwards will do. . For Birding you need long telephotos with excellent AF capabilities. The minimum is 300mm prime. . For fast action sports you need fast zooms with excellent reach . For close up of insects and flowers you need a long macro lense . For portraits you need fast lense in the 85mm to 135mm range, and aperture of F1.4 or F1.8 to isolate the subject The list goes on and on. If you buy the D3300, it comes with the 18-55 kit lense. That is sufficient for starting your photographic journey. [/QUOTE]
