Nikon D7000 beginners?

Looking to start getting into photography. Have been looking at:

http://www.ebay.com.au/...0802538837

2x http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=317&bid=5&sid=82805

with a 50mm f/1.8G to add to it… But do you think i should wait till the D7100 gets released and see if the price drops?

It does not matter what fully adjustable camera you buy if you are a beginner since they all work the same. You have to learn how to use the cameras light meter to select the correct shutter speed and lens aperture.

Buying items from eBay can be sketchy.

At this moment, I would suggest you wait the few weeks for the D7100 to start becoming available in your country.

The D7100 is available now in the States

Edit:

You can practice balancing the ISO, Shutter Speed and Lens Aperture on this site until you get your camera

The only issue with the D7100 as I see it, and it is a potential issue, not a given, is the rumored removal of the AA (anti aliasing) filter. This will render sharper photos, but the camera will be prone to moire.

Moire is most noticeable in fabrics and other situations where there are parallel lines in the subject. For this reason, the Nikon D800 is sold in two versions, available with and without the AA filter. Wedding photographers may want to keep the AA filter version as they would by the nature of their subject matter, photograph fabrics a lot.

AA filters - also sometimes called low-pass filters - have traditionally been installed on the digital sensors so that photographers do not have to contend with moire. However, these days, moire can sometimes be corrected in post-processing, and having a sharper photograph without the filter is perhaps the trend for advanced photographers as moire does not occur that often.

I don't see AA filters being removed from compact cameras (although I also believe the Nikon J3 lacks an AA filter), so who knows where this trend will end. If it catches on, perhaps all advanced cameras may someday lack filtering.

The bottom line is if you buy a camera without an AA filter (as the D7100 is rumored to be), be prepared for the need to use an advanced post-processing software (i.e.photoshop) from time to time to clean up the moire. Inexpensive and free software may not likely fix moire.

At this point, there's not enough known about the need for moire reduction anyway since the D7100 has yet to be delivered. However, some proponents of removing AA filters contend that with higher resolution/large sensor cameras, the need for AA filters are reduced if not eliminated, and being that 99% of the time you will not need the filter (due to the typical subject matter), then a slight chance of moire is more than offset by sharper photos overall.

If you don't want to have to get into this decision, then perhaps you should buy the D7000.

Why? The Pentax K-30 is a better camera at a lower price.
