5 Best "Beginner" Cameras at $500, $1,000, and $2,000!

[@rachelsparks7816]

I have been shooting sports, mostly baseball/softball for 2 years on Nikon D3200 with 55-200mm, I need a longer lens. My daughter volunteered me when her coach asked for someone to photograph practices and games so the girls could study their techniques. I enjoyed it so I did it for their other teams (rec and school). Now I'm considering side business. I do like the Nikon but am curious what you would recommend.

Congrats on the opportunity! As for our recommendation it depends on a few factors 1.) What's your budget for a camera (and lenses), 2.) What Camera system do you like or prefer the most? and 3.) Are you going to just stick to one specific genre of photography or will you branch out?

[@rachelsparks7816]

@RMSPtv I do love Nikon as I've learned on that. I'd love to find something that comes with 55mm, 200mm, 440/500mm. Willing to put $ in but not ready to go all out passed 5,000. I've had requests for other sports. And I'd most likely do personal Sports photos with teammates and individual.

Thanks for the very informative video. I've been considering a mirrorless system and this gives me a good head start. I've always used Canon so I will probably stay with that system.

Glad it was helpful!

Totally off subject from this video. I signed up for RMSP Community and I can find nowhere on the site where I can set up my profile. Or a log off button. Can you provide some guidance.

Absolutely! Assuming you are on a computer, in the upper-right you should see a little user icon. Click on that to edit your profile or login/out.

I would love a camera with incredible zoom so I can film historical sites and buildings and zoom in on their details. Lots of times these buildings are very tall and I want to see every detail inside and out.

so right now i’m shooting with a D5300 and i really want to go into professional photography and want to make some money off of it to buy my own camera but it’s a school camera so i am limited on what i can do. What would be a camera you would recommend for those sport shots but I can also use for those still shots as well

[@forestchaput]

Great question! What genres of photography are you looking to pursue professionally? Also, are you wanting to stick with Nikon, or are you open to another brand?

[@BearCreekInfo]

Thanks that helped reinforce some of my decisions.

[@forestchaput]

Glad it helped!
