Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Nikon D3300?
looking for my first camera to look how to shoot
Did you have some questions about this camera today?
What types of things will you be shooting?
probably wont be upgrading if not ever so i want to get one that i will be happy with for a long time
i hike and wanted to get some good nature picttures
Did you have a budget that you needed to stick to?
yes and no. wouldnt like to spend more than 1000
i could potentially spend more
The D3300 or D5300 would be two great options
The image quality between those two is very similar. But the D5300 has some extra features such as a flip out screen, and more focus points
is there a difference if i also wanted to add people in the pictures
The D7100 would be the next step up and would be really nice for hiking since it has weather sealing
No, all of these cameras can photograph people or nature just fine
oh nice...does that mean i could shoot in the rain?
and also, the lenses are additional, yes?
You could shoot in rain, but I would still recommend putting some type of rain shield over it. You can get some as cheap as $10
It's not waterproof, but it keeps moisture and dirt out pretty well.
The lenses are additional, but this one comes with a really versatile 18-140mm lens
i will research those then. thanks
