Hi! How are you? I'm Dan
Did you have a Nikon question I could assist with?
Hi, This is Anand I am good How are you?
Daniel H.
hello there.. nice to meet you
Yes. I am new to DSLR photography. I am confused as to which one to go for. I read a lot of articles online and after that I chose Nikon D3300
Daniel H.
ahh well welcome to the club! We're glad to have you :-)
ahh yes the D3300 is a great camera.. very versitile
I would like to know if this a good buy as a beginner
Daniel H.
I would say it is a great buy.. certainly a camera you can grow into
And Do I buy a 55mm-200mm zoom lens while buying the DSLR or would you suggest me to wait till I gain a few skills before buying extra lenses
Daniel H.
ooo good question.. what kind of photography do you plan to do?
Actually I just want to learn and cultivate it as a hobby. I am more into Nature and Casual photos when I go out with friends
Its just that I need to get started.
Daniel H.
okay cool
well they often have deals when you buy a lens at the same time as a camera
buying a telephoto would give you more photo taking opportunities
allowing you to experiment more and learn what your style is
and if you decide to sell a lens there is always a good used market
whether you sell used to adorama, craigslist or whereveer
Oh, thats sounds great
Daniel H.
you may also want to consider the d5300 and d5500
they have an articulating lcd screen
Sure thing
Also, I would like to know the main difference between a refurbished and a new one.
Do refurbished cameras have a lesser warranty period?
Daniel H.
yes.. typically -- it depends on the camera
the one you are looking at has a 90 day mfx warranty
you can buy extended service contracts though if yuo wish
Ok sounds good
Thanks for your help
It was really nice talking to you
Daniel H.
wonderful -- feel free to let me know if I can be of more assistance
do check out our new leaf warranties
you can do a search in adorama for "used warranty" and they should pop up
