I have planned to buy a nikon D5200 as my first camera.help me.!!greetings to my fellow creative artists.I'm a video editor and a special effects artist working for a company presently.after a lot of brainstorming, visiting showrooms (till everyone there not wanting me to be there.) and bugging all my friends and couple of professionals I have decided to land on a nikon d5200 next month. as it is with a newbie buying dslr i have MY DOUBTS.* my total budget is INR 50,000 or USD $900.* I have a decided to get a Nikon D5200 becausae it is going to be my 1st dslr and for its pricing and performance its a descent buy.* i will be buying a 50mm 2.8f afs lens from nikon along with it* as months pass by i will keep buying better lenses.* i plan on using this camera for 2 years and then upgrading to a canon 5d mark iii or equivalent nikon ( i know... i know.. m getting  nikon lenses ..but hey i wanted to get a canon 60d   but its not worth the price and 70d is killin ma pockets.. i'm not a brand lover but a camera lover. if it meets ma needs i get it and live the moment)* when it comes to photography i will be doing a lot of portrait, nature, product, macro, bird and street photography. (lets just say if i see it and love it,i click it)* as a professional video editor u may have already guessed I will shoot short movies,music videos, profile videos and corporate videos. so thats what i will be doing i think you all have a pretty good idea of what i will do with my buddy niky.so here are my doubts* is nikon d5200 the best option availabe for the price range?* I have handled a canon 600d, canon 5d mk ii and canon 60d and i loved 5d a lot. compared to them as a long term user how do nikons fare? (no offence nikon lovers but im silly and ignorant.appologies)* are nikon lenses good when it comes to price to performance ratio.?* I have seen the upgraded version i.e nikon D5300 and checked it out in a showroom. I liked the cool GPS & wifi features (not my necessity) but is really worth paying for it while i can get a 50mm lens for the same amount of money.* should i really buy a 1 year old camera or simply shed the extra cash and buy the latest D5300 and wait for buying lenses in later months.* i really dont wanna go for nikon d3300 as i neeeedddd the swivel screen and a semi pre dslr.* compared to bangalore showrooms im getting a better price deal in flipkart. can u suggest any shops in bangalore where i can visit and gain better deals likes filters and stuff.* i will be buying the camera in july as a birthday gift for myself so i really wanna make it something special and keep the camera all the while. so any advic on buying is whole heartedly apreciated.* along with the camera i will be buying a lowepro photo hatchback 22l aw camera bag (flipkart) is it worth it or do you have any better backpack recommendations* my next upgrades for the camera are                                      1] Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55 - 300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens                      2] a good speedlight flash                           3] is it good to get a 85mm block for portraits                      4] what other accessories do you find useful                      5] any good tripod recommendaions pleaseThanks a million for giving me your precious time and helping me out.peace out..!!'ART IS NOT MY LIFESTYLE BUT LIFE ITSELF'- ROKRBOY</blockquote>
