<p>Well, I to am a beginner DSLR Nikon D3300 Photographer, This particular line of Nikon Cameras have very good recommendations and reviews for "Beginner Photographers", I would suggest you keep what you have until you have gained more experience and feel comfortable and confident with YOUR Camera, maybe consider better lens, but investigate, research, ask questions from other more experienced Photographers for recommendations and advice. Take your time, relax and enjoy your Photography experience.</p>
