[QUOTE="weekender, post: 106540, member: 12587"] Hi all, looking for some advice. I always wanted a dslr could never really justify spending the money on one just for a hobby. So a few months ago A friend of mine gave me his nikon d300 with a 18-200mm lens. I have been using here and there and i feel i just don't fully understand how to properly use it or take advantage of its features. My pictures come out blurry,dark, etc... My girlfriend has a canon t3i and her pictures come out better than mine 9/10 times with very minimal effort. I respect the profession/art of photography, but i'm looking for something simple So i decided that a camera similar to hers would suit my needs. I'm looking for something that can take "good" pictures with minimal user knowledge or input. I have decided to sell it while it still has some value and get the nikon d5200. Any thoughts on this? How much could a used d300 go for? It has 3,xxx actuations Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
