Hi all,
Just joined the forum as I just bought a Nikon D3200 and once I opened the box, I knew I was going to need some help. I Paid a hair under $500 at our local Target store and they said that I have a month to return it if I want. I have had a simple point and shoot digital camera for years but I decided I would like to be able to use some different lenses on it as well as some of the neat things the nicer digital cameras can do. I can't believe all the stuff this camera will do! I just have to figure out what all the buttons and options do!
I don't plan on making a living in photography but would just like to have a nice camera that I can get some awesome pictures with. I am planning on getting a 70-300mm zoom for it but that's about it for now as far as lenses go.
I see them anywhere from $100 to $1,000 or more. I would like to have the lens talk to the light meter and auto focus would be nice as well but would rather not spend over $200 if possible for now. I also took some pictures the other day and can see them when I hit the back arrow as well as on the computer when I put the card in but I just shot about 10 more pictures today and can't seem them when I hit the back arrow and when I plug the card into the computer I can see the icons and picture numbers but no picture. I probably screwed up and hit some button or did something in the menu since I took the first couple of shots that is preventing me from seeing them on the camera or computer??? Also, would like to hear feedback from those who know the Nikon models to see if there is a better model than the D3200 for about the same price?
Your input is appreciated.
