[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 98949, member: 12198"] I've been playing with taking pictures for awhile and I'm ready to get in a bit deeper :) At the moment I have a Sony A230 with the 18-55mm lens it came with and for the quick grab point and shoot I have my faithful old Sony H9. I was considering buying new lenses for my Sony A but I've never been overly pleased with the colour of my pics. Anyways, I'm thinking the D5100 will be the best fit for me I'm interested in the D7000 but I'm a bit intimidated by it though. Most of my photography is low light (inside terribly lit rooms like Christmas morning haha and school concerts etc) or outside around fire pit and I'd love to finally get a shot of the northern lights. I've been trying and trying but without luck. I don't do much macro but taking pics of kids and animals they are quite often in my face! I take a step back to get the shot and they take 2-3 steps towards me! Otherwise I like to take lots and lots of outdoor landscape, nature shots (wondering what that bird is way at the back of the field or if its a moose or deer in the neighbours yard) and most often my kids running or riding horses which are rarely close by or still :p I don't want to carry a ton of lenses and have to change them for every situation as I have young children so usually have lots to pack anyways! But I also don't have a huge budget I'm thinking of gettng the D5100 body with a 35mm f/1.8 DX and a 70-300mm VR Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated looking at the lens options is so overwhelming :confused: [/QUOTE]
