Which camera body should I choose among the Nikon D5200 and D3300?
I have a D3300 and I like it very mutch. However the D5200 has a flip screen the 3300 doesn't not. The 5200 has 39 focus points the 3300 has only 11. But the 3300 has a slight edge on depth of color. It's also better in lower light. The 3300 has better LCD screen resolution. There pretty dead even for portrait, sports, landscape photography. There is very little in size or weight of the two bodys. The 5200 has a Anti aliasing filters some folks say that's a good things some say not so good. That is why I bought the 3300 because most pros say aliasing filters take away image quality. I don't know if beginners like us would ever see it. Nikon came out with a D3400 so Nikon might have dropped the price on the 3300. I don't know but I would hold off buying until black Friday if you can. No matter what you decide you will most likely get a better deal. I would also say be careful who you buy from. there are some nasty dealers out there that sell grey market or bait and switch. I like Best Buy because they have a price match grantee free shipping and if something is not wright your can get a refund fast. It also helps folks keep there jobs localy. I hope this helps have fun
Nikon D3200 or Sony NEX 5R?
I am a photographer looking to upgrade my current camera. I have a fujifilm X10 that's been on loan that I've really enjoyed as a light weight camera for street photography. I do have to give this camera back to fujifilm in a few days so I'm looking to get something to own. My first DSLR I ever bought is also the last DSLR I bought, a Konika Minolta Maxxum 5D, which was one of the last DSLRs made by Minolta before Sony bought them out. I have basically two lenses for this camera, the stock lens and a 70-300 (I think?). So, even if I went with Sony who now use the old Minolta lens mount, it wouldn't be a big loss. The camera is an 8mp DSLR with a CCD sensor, basically any DSLR or camera with a similar sensor size that's out now would be an upgrade. I had my eyes set on the Sony NEX 5R because I like the 10FPS, I like the size, I like the image quality, I like the video quality, and I like the fact that it has built in wifi. But it doesn't have a viewfinder which is a real pain in the buns, and it doesn't have as wide of a selection of lenses as a DSLR has (if I were to get the NEX 5R, I would get it with the 18-55 manual lens, not the PoS automatic lens). Costs, there's not a huge difference, image quality I haven't really seen enough to judge. Basically, I'm stuck and I'm not quite sure which camera is the better camera when it comes down to the tech, and I don't know which camera would be best for me. Which has the overall better image quality with their individual kit lenses? Which camera is better? Is there another camera at this same level that produces better images?
Which is a better DSLR, a Sony SLT-A58 or a Nikon D5200?
The Sony SLT A58 is not a DSLR. The Nikon D5200 is a DSLR.The difference is that Sony SLTs are a hybrid system with a pellicle mirror, but no optical through the lens viewfinder. It only has an EVF (Electronic View Finder).DSLRs always have an optical viewfinder.Choose whichever you want. If you want an optical viewfinder, get a DSLR. If not, then get a mirrorless or one of those Sony hybrid systems.Both systems, optical viewfinder and EVF, have their strengths and weaknesses. Optical viewfinders are faster (instant in fact), best for shooting sports or action shots, and don't suck as much power from the battery. However optical viewfinders blank out when shooting video. EVF's are better for video, they don't blank out, but they suck battery power, and not so good for sports/action photography, since there is always a slight delay in what you see in the EVF.
What is a good camera to use for making a Udemy course?
Entry-Level dSLR With 18-55mm Kit Zoom Below $500Find a Canon EOS Rebel Series, Nikon D3200 or D3300, Sony Alpha A58, or Pentax K50 dSLR with an 18-55mm kit lens. They're available at or below $500 from a dealer like B&H Photo Video Digital Cameras, Photography, Camcorders. Buy Used To Stretch Cash...Stretch your cash even further by buying used. But purchase used from a reputable dealer who tells you how many shutter actuations the camera has had (should be less than 1,000 if possible) and can show you how to use the camera and lens. Buying in the store from a reputable dealer like Palo Alto, California's Keeble and Shuchat (Camera Stores, Repair, Lenses & Flashes San Francisco & Bay Area) avoids most problems with broken or abused equipment. ...Or Rent To Try OutThat dealer can also rent you equipment to try out. However, if you're a first-time buyer, a dealer's help and instruction with the camera is the most important thing.Udemy Is OK, But...Understand the Udemy course won't teach you everything. Find a good how-to photography book like Ansel Adams: The Camera (The Ansel Adams Photography Series 1): Ansel Adams, Robert Baker: 9780821221846: Amazon.com: Books. Read your camera's instruction manual, especially the first parts about basic picture-taking. Then go out and shoot something you're passionate about - family, travel, landscapes, sports, pets. Just have fun while you're doing it.
What are the best DSLR models available in the ₹25k-30k range?
I would defer with some suggestions here, in my opinion find a D5200 if you can...roughly it goes for about 30k.The reason is that, DSLR is not only about picture quality. It's also performance and accurate and fast autofocus systemWhile it's OK to consult dxomark and all those sites that compare sensors and all, in my opinion camera is more than these scores. Photography is much more than that. As a beginner, these score does not matter at all, quite frankly. Pick any camera, it has better picture quality than the beginner him/herself can produce.For example, Canon 1200D has the same sensor as in Canon 7D mark 1, and there are images from that camera that people sold for thousands of dollars. Technical scores makes any sense only when you are a absolute professional, and doing very critical work, a very slight parameter change may get you out of the job.This is coming from a geek, engineer by profession and absolute nerd about specifications. But as a photographer, I do not care about them. All I care about, what I need to do the job, do it fast, do it easy. Most important what feels natural in my hand, what gets me forget even I am holding it. Now, why I suggested Nikon D5200. It's has great picture quality, faster than 3000 series. It has autofocus system right from D7000, which is so much better than any of the D3x00 camera. And it has 24 megapixel as well. Again some one might comment, D3300 doesn't have low pass filter, its resolution is better and so on...but frankly, its has so little difference that naked eye will feel difficulty in percieving. And that too if you use a very high quality expansive glass, normal kit lens do not even resolve 10 mp properly.
