[QUOTE="OrangeDream, post: 743699, member: 48755"] Hello I am upgrading from a d3100 because I am trying to start a photography/videography company and the 3100 isn't cutting it anymore. I have been tasked with doing a live demonstration next month on the 15th and it could make my business. I have made videos with the 3100, but I am looking at getting a d5600 at the moment because of better video and the external mic jack. I really like nikons and I want to stay with Nikon, I don't have the capital to spend more than $750, I have been looking at them online, but I am seeing a lot of different price ranges. I have a few weeks to buy the camera but I would like atleast a full week before I have to put it to use professionally. Should I buy used or new? I have also been looking at body only options, but I can't seem to find any that aren't on backorder. I currently own a prime 35mm lense and have the kit lens from the 3100, will I need the kit lens on the newer camera or is it the same as the one I currently have? Also what are your experiences with buying from online retailers? Should I buy from BestBuy and get a 3 yr accident warranty on it. My current 3100 has a shutter count of 7591, but I have shot atleast 2-300-10 minute movies on it and I have never dropped it or gotten scratches on it. [/QUOTE]
