Hello!
I'm just new to the forums so I hope someone is willing me to help me anyway. My previous camera broke and as I want to get more serious about photography I decided to purchase my very first DSLR. I can't decide wether to get the D5300 or the D7100 so any advice on this will be greatly appreciated but my main question is what lenses to get. Originally I wanted to get the D5300 or D7100 with the 18-105 VR and the Tamron 70-300 VC USD.
So far I have mainly done travel/landscape photography and some macro photography but am now also getting interested in portrait photography.
Would I need to get a different lens for each of these categories?
Besides the 2 lenses mentioned above, I have also been looking at the 35mm or 40mm lens for portrait photography. But I read that the 35mm is better with low light, while the 40mm is better for macro.
Too many options! I don't have the money to get 10 different lenses so if anyone has any advice, yes please
Thanks!
