tlc Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Do you have your heart set on a DSLR? Just to throw a spanner in the works have you considered a compact system camera? HERE is an example. Fantastic images without the hassle of different lenses etc. I have always had a DSLR and a compact camera, for when I don't want to lug the big camera around. Compacts used to be just compacts but the one mentioned here and lots of others now have bigger sensors and lots of fantastic features so you can achieve high quality images.

Kirislin Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 according to camera pro the rrp price is cheaper than JB are offering it. http://camerapro.net.au/nikon-d3200-18105mm-black-australian-stock-order-p-5194.html what you can do is go into your local camera shop and tell them what camera pro are selling it for and ask if they will price match, if they wont, just buy it from camera pro.

wantsapuppy Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok so I went out to Harvey Norman today. The red one of above camera they have a two lense deal for 1080 and the black is 1 lense for 1200 ish. Tinkling I might see if I can get a good bargain and get the price reduced and the. I could look at getting a new lense as well. Or just the one and see how I go. Specially seeing as I will proberly buy a bag and a couple of other things as well.

tlc Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 WAP are you on a mobile device, Im trying to decipher your msg. Do you mean get the cheaper deal and then get an extra lens. If you are thinking of getting a smaller prime lens the 50mm is fantastic if you wanna shoot some portraits of your kids and other stuff this lens is very versatile, there is 3 different varieties the 1.8 is the cheapest at around $150 I had one when I had my Nikon D80 and it spent most of its time on the camera, very versatile little lens. There is a thread in the photos section dedicated to 50mm pics, its great if you wanna see the quality this lens produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Just remember that the D3200 doesn't have a built in focus motor, so it will have to be in the lens. So if you wanted the 50mm, you would have to buy the 1.8G ($254), not the 1.8D ($152). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 i didn't even realise there was two different sorts, My OH got my 50mm 1.8 from honkers and it just worked but I think the D80 had the built in focus motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah it does. The entry level models don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantsapuppy Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 The guy there said something about other models have something built into them that this one doesn't so would have to get the lenses with it built Ina dn they were around 200 more. Or something like that . And yes I was on my mobile . Stupid phone ) he just wouldn't shut the fk up long enough for what he was saying to sink in And that's ok I can deal with that ATM. I will be a good entry level and ONE day I might upgrade to something with the built in stuff that I can just screw on any lense so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantsapuppy Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 So after a bit more comparison I'm going to get the D5100. They have a twin lense offer for under 1000. I might have a new baby tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
