Is It Worth Saving Up For A Nikon D3000?
This Is My First Question (:
So I'm Beginning To Get Interested In Photography. I Love The Look OF DSLR'S & The Quality Of Images They Produce. The D3000 Looks Like A Good Quality Camera… I Will Probably Need To Save Up About $600… My Parents Will Help But I'd Like To Pay For Most Of It & To Learn How To Save Haha.
Megapixes Don't Matter So Much… I've Also Read Lens Are More Important Then The Camera Body So Does Anyone Have Any Recommendations? Regarding Lenses & Or Camera Bodies?
If You Own A Nikon D3000 Please Tell Me Any Pros & Con's.
Not worth it.go for D3100
It depends on what type of pictures you want to take and how passionate you are, but there are other cheaper cameras out there that you could buy. If you want to know more about the Nikon D3000 and customer reviews click on this Amazon link as it has 171 reviews http://www.amazon.com/...002JCSV5I/
Hopefully this will give you a better idea as to whether the camera is for you or not.
Regards.
If That Is The Most You Can Afford Then Yes It Is Worth It. Start With The 18-55, If You Can Afford The 18-105 So Much The Better.
On A Small Budget Like Yours Also Look At The Pentax K-x And Any Special Offers For Olympus.
Do Realize That You Will Need To Learn A Lot About Photogaphy
If you can just save or have your parents lay out a bit more, and I mean a bit more money look into buying the Nikon D90 or Nikon D5000. And I fully understand that it seems when anyone suggests a camera it's always more money.
Both the Nikon D5000 and D90 have a better auto focus system than the D3000 and also superior sensor. I feel that you would be happier with their kit. Check out Amazon.com (for prices).
I must add a PS. No matter what DSLR you buy it's a must that you learn how to use the camera quite thoroughly together with learning the Basics of Photography. Borrowing a book from library would help you a lot. The answer is you don't buy a fairly expensive camera just to leave it on auto.
If you buy the D3000 in a kit with the 18-55mm kit lens, you may find the zoom range limiting. In that case, you'll need to spend about $200 more for the AFS Nikkor 55-200mm VR. If you shoot in low light often, the AFS Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G will be a good choice for those situations. It's also about $200.
Lenses are expensive, but $100 is pretty much the lowest you can get for a quality lens. I don't recommend going for anything cheaper.
