Hi all,
As the tradition goes every year, me and the wife tell each other what we want for Christmas. Buy it and we exchange presents then. I want to enter the world of professional photography just as a hobby for now and need to find a good entry or above decent DSLR camera that doesn't break the bank.
I never been into camera's before until I bought my wife a Nikon Coolpix P520 bridge camera last Christmas. The image quality to me was far superior than any of the standard digital cameras that I ever used in my life and with high clarity and sharpness. In short, the £279 I paid was one of the best investments I ever took and my wife couldn't be more pleased with it as she likes traveling and taking pictures of scenery and locations.
I'm looking to spend around the £500 for a DSLR camera and so far I seem to like Nikon D3200 which seems to offer good value for money for the functions it offers and it seemed to receive a good feedback from most users.
What do you guys think of this camera and is there anything else similar or of higher spec that you would recommend? I might be able to stretch the budget but not by far much.
