[QUOTE="Creo, post: 601727, member: 43126"] Hello, my first post, so please be gentle :) I havent used an SLR for 30 years and since I returned to photography 3 years ago have been using a Sony A7R. However, its reliability (lack of), and lack of lenes have finally defeated me and I am now looking to move to Nikon. The D7200 ticks the boxes for me as relatively inexpensive, good build quality, and while I would be moving from full-frame to crop-frame I dont really see that as an issue. Most importantly the huge range of Nikon, and Nikon-fit lenses is very attractive. But I am a complete newbie to Nikon, watching Youtubes on how they work! So my first question, would the D7200 users here recommend this camera now, or a different model? Now to lenses, I will require two, the first a wide angle for what I do 98% of my photography with, landscape. I would be looking for a zoom or prime that has a screw thread for filters (ideally 72mm) has autofocus, and isnt hugely expensive. Is there one you would suggest? The second lens would be a telephoto for birding and I am drawn to the Sigma 150-600mm for its rave reviews, decent price and good range. I need to work out my equipment selection to come up with a total price to move from Sony, the important requirement from The Boss, hence trying to work out exactly what I would get. Many thanks for any advice and guidance you wish to offer this person taking their first fumbling steps into DSLRs. [/QUOTE]
