cecily_lafrance Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi, I'm new to the photography world, and I'm trying to decide between a nikon D5200 kit, and a Canon EOS rebel T5 kit. I would love to be able to eventually take photos at concerts and sporting events, and also scenery photos. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 <p>Both cameras should be good starter cameras and would also work for your other intended purposes, perhaps with a lens upgrade when you decide to get more serious about a specific area of photography. If you can, go to a store and try both of them before you buy to make sure that they feel right in your hands and that the menu system/camera controls make sense to you. Both cameras are capable of good results but you may find one fits you better than the other.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_silver Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm a Nikon digital/film camera user myself. But, if I were starting out again I would seriously think about getting a mirror less camera. The lens style QX1 E mount camera by Sony especially, because it then opens up usage to Zeiss lenses. With full auto abilities, that the ZF.2 lenses lack. And one uses a cell phone or mini tablet as the remote viewer. Which would come in handy in a crowded concert.

black_silver Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 One can rent cameras and lenses from borrowlenses dot com. Try before you buy. Adorama rents as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_smithson Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 <p>The best beginner Nikon would be the D7100, it is currently on sale. Beginner kits are a waste of money, although they make it easy, the 7100 has a more dense pixel ratio than Nikons best camera the D810 and your money will be better spent here than on the 5200. <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/d7100.html">http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/d7100.html</a> With the 7100 you will spend a little more, for a lot more quality......</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
