[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 424218, member: 13090"] Based on your posts I'm going to suggest something along the lines of the D5300. If you can find a good deal on one with the Nikon 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens, I think you'd be good to go. I say this because I think the D5300 pretty much nails the price vs. performance "sweet spot", [I]at this point in time[/I], in the Nikon DX lineup. My girlfriend shoots with one, and has for a while now, and I could compare her shots with mine (I shot with a D7100 for a long time). Pick up a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 prime lens if you can, as well. This is Jessica's preferred setup and it never ceases to amaze me what she can do with her 5300 and the little 35mm. If you reeeeeally want to do it right, spend the extra dinero on the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 "Art" lens (caveat: possible sticker-shock ahead...) With the right glass, the D5300 is an amazing mid-range camera that you could grow into for some time. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]... [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
