Hi,
I've just bought myself a Nikon D3200 and also a Nikkor 18-105mm AF-s lens to go with it.
Is this a good choice?
I don't see it as a camera I will upgrade soon. Rather, I intend to keep it for several years. I know more about photography than the average holiday snapper but I am also not a committed enthusiast. I use a camera for holiday snaps, people, pets and occasionally I try to be creative.
I previously had a Fujifilm HS-50 which I bought for the long zoom lens. This was killed in Thailand last August when I was caught in a tropical thunder storm! I enjoyed using this camera but I found that the long zoom wasn't really practically usable and there was always something missing from images.
I chose the D3200 because of its large amount of megapixels and the large sensor. I also wanted something with a bit more range than the standard 18-55mm lens the camera usually comes with.
Do you think this camera will suit my needs? Should I see an improvement in my shots due to the better capability of this camera? Is the lens a good choice?
Many thanks for your help in advance.
