Looking for a good beginner dslr

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 :)

<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>

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.

One can rent cameras and lenses from borrowlenses dot com. Try

before you buy. Adorama rents as well.

<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>
