[@scyllaist]

Finally a camera review done with professionalism. I get tired of the lame jokes and oddball personas that are reviewing photography subjects. Keep it up.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

scyllaist Thanks!

[@denis700d]

+scyllaist I know who (Kai W) you're talking about.

[@EdmontonRails]

DR TV is the best. I hated Kai the first time I saw him, but after watching a few videos I couldn't stop.

[@alvinmwangi]

I havent seen a more comprehensive and yet concise review on youtube...of anything really. Im a new photographer and this covered all the questions i had and more. Kudos. A thousand likes dont do this justice.

[@dudeduderson101]

Not one to comment on videos too often, BUT this was a phenomenal review. I really felt like you weighed pros and cons evenly and acted extremely level headed and pleasant throughout the video. Keep up the good work.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+dudeduderson Thanks! Glad I could help!

***D3300 review from an experienced wedding photographer So after watching your videos on the d3300, I was pretty much sold. I bought it as my first camera for portraiture and used your tutorial to learn how to use it. Right from the start, I bought the 35mm 1.8 again following your advice and had a good time shooting with it. Everyone that saw my shots was always impressed. I was super fond of my camera especially considering I got the setup for around $400. Now all was well until a year in when I decided to use my camera professionally. I wanted to shoot weddings with it(photography). For my first wedding, it worked great because there was plenty of daylight streaming through the windows so I won’t get into it that much. Second wedding was indoors and during the late evening hours. There was a lighting setup by the stage. Let me start off with the fact that when I got home and went through my images, more than half of my shots were out of focus in one way or another. But the thing is, at the time they appeared in focus on the screen. Secondly, it took wayy too long for me to get my shots because every time I positioned the couple in a different spot, I had to readjust my settings. I shoot on aperture priority mode with iso on 100(again thanks to tony), auto-focus and F1.8. Every time I actually had to use my in-camera exposure options to increase the exposure in my shots. Bear in mind that despite doing this they still required a lot of editing afterwards. Conclusion: My experience using this camera for indoor events and shoots wavered my confidence in it. I didn’t have the funds to afford upgrading to a beautifully fast full-frame dslr as I wanted to so I had to make do. But now I’m no longer confident in using this camera for future events, in marketing myself and trying to get more clients because as you know weddings are a very very special day for the client and there is no do-over, you have to get it right the first time. But the amount of time it takes for the camera to focus on the subject with its few focus points that are cluttered around the center are torture. Most people don’t want to stand there holding one pose for that long and nor do they want to pay you more than a grand for those images. I could say a lot more but I’ll stop here and hope this helps you in understanding whether or not you should get this setup. Notes: - A lot of ppl sing high praise of this set-up being wonderful in low-light which is true... to an extent. It’ll take the shot but requires a lot of editing afterwards, adjusting the exposure, shadows; blacks etc. - It’s an amazing camera when shooting outdoors, never had a problem with it. Perfect for the hobbyist and somehow who only needs it occasionally and doesn’t really care much for the technical or creative aspect of things. - I shoot raw always and use auto-focus because of how fast-paced weddings are, the battery life is horrible. A full charge only lasts a few hours. For a full-day shoot, you would need at least 2 fully charged batteries. After saying all this I still love my camera and would recommend it for most occasions. I’ve gotten some amazing shots of dance performances with this camera and that’s saying something.

[@mikewilson3198]

One of the most informative and professional reviews I have ever watched, keep up the good work Tony...

[@iLLexian]

finally a camera review thats more than 3 minutes long!

[@pradsharm]

ggg

[@neilcole3406]

Chelsea looks good at any ISO!

[@gidigida]

Great video as usual. Tony is the only reviewer that I watch his video entirely without getting bored. Excellent work, Tony.

[@paulb9453]

7 years on, and it's still a great video, very informative, thanks.

[@missc78]

I brought the D3300 yesterday after watching a lot of reviews. considering this camera has been available since 2014 and 2 years later it's still being made says something about the camera. hopefully tomorrow I will get chance to take some photos. Thank you for sharing.

[@TimeLimey]

Just about to buy the D3300 as pretty much everyone says its the best in its class. Didn't know that the kit lens only shines at 9 megapixels though. Glad I watched your video! Plan to get some better glass for it too asap.

[@TuanNguyen-eu5mj]

+TimeLimey what did you end up getting for the lens?

[@TimeLimey]

Tuan Nguyen I ended up getting the D5300 in the end with the standard kit lens plus I bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 as my first extra lens. Great little set up for my needs.

[@PhotoCaptured]

Being a very dedicated Nikon shooter even though I have used numerous Canon, some Sony and even added an Olympus E-PL1 to my gear bag; I enjoyed your layout and detailed explanation of the camera. My very first DSLR was the D3000 which just goes to show how far this line up has come, then I got a D3100. After shooting with these two cameras for a few years I got the D7000 rather then a full frame rig. My money has been in lenses as you constantly pointed out and it has paid off for sure. The megapixel hype is a bit annoying but the actual quality of the images is of great importance to me and the cameras I use have given me that in combination with great lenses. Plus I can keep my travel weight down. It's nice to have an APS-C camera that is lighter weight and can give me the detail and insane quality that had so many sticking to film gear for years yet is affordable.

[@rosabaez876]

Thank you! I was going to get it on this passed Saturday but my husband told me to search and get more information but you Tony made my way clear to get the D3300 Nikon camara! Thank you so much! Very helpful😉

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Rosa Baez Glad to help, Rosa!

[@Mike-Hughes-Timmins]

Thanks Tony, a fantastic review with lots of advice and tips. This is the third time I have watched this video and each time it reminds me of one thing I have forgotten. Keep up the great work Tony, we all love it. Next step is buying your books.

[@InterfaceDeath]

Man, this has to be the best review I have came across for this camera. I recently acquired the D3300 and I have learned a great deal about how to use it from this video alone. I subscribed, thanks so much!

[@espresso4eva]

It's really nice that you do in depth reviews for lower end cameras. I hope you will continue to do so in the future. I only have one suggestion - to show the actual difference in picture quality between the kit lens and some more quality lens. People who plan to step up their game with better lenses in the future would certainly find it useful.

[@rd_eli]

I totally agree!

[@philscomputerlab]

Could someone please help me out to understand the "kit lens only transmits around 9 MP of data". What is the reason for this?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

philscomputerlab It's a bit blurry, like looking through dirty glasses.

[@denis700d]

philscomputerlab It's due to a physical characteristic of optic materials known as transmission, the amount of light emitted by every 100th of light absorbed. The lenses have a lot of glasses and they keep part of that information. That's why the prime lenses have a better resolution than zooms. Also is due to the glasses quality. There are $20 000 lenses with 20 mm - 50 mm made of fluorite, a high transmittance crystal, used for movies camcorders.

[@philscomputerlab]

Ok, thank you!

[@philscomputerlab]

I bought your photography digital book last year and I learnt so much. I have a very specific and nerdy question please. I got the Nikon D3300, my first DSLR and it has this feature Active D-Lighting. I really like what it doe, BUT, it only applies to photos, not video. Do you know, or can you point me in the right direction, what D-Lighting does and if I can replicate it's magic in a video editor? Thank you!

[@davidalanphotography1]

Tony, love your video's, Just bought the "Red" 3300 for event photography to have a lighter camera to haul around for hours, I like the red, have so many black camera's it's just different. I think this will work well for what I want it for. I'll find out tomorrow. Hope your channel is doing well for you, you can tell that you both put a lot of work into it.

[@michaeltillman886]

What's up Tony? You've just eased my mine on a problem I thought I might have one day with my D3300. Before I purchased this camera I had a Nikon 6006 in which I took that camera out in all sorts of weather with no problem. Looking at the way you use your camera in the snow lets me know, I will have no problems if I be careful. As far as the 6006 is concerned I still have it. It was purchased in 1996 and it's still a great camera; and I do still use it sometime. I fact, I think it takes better shots sometime. This is good information; and great video. Peace!

[@katnee5642]

Thanks for this great review. I'm getting the D3300 today and am excited to get started.

[@paulmoss4199]

Lovely photos of your daughter, she looks a bright kid!

[@carolinas.a2822]

Suscribed!! This is the best review Ive found so far about this camera, Im planning to buy my first camera and making a lof of research until I found the 3300, now you give sooo many options and good deals Im indecisive! xD Thanks a lot!

[@sawmin6429]

I just want to say "thank you " Tony!!!

[@Wartitan770]

Hey Tony Northrup, great video! However, you mentioned multiple times how the 18-55mm kit lens had a DXO Mark P-mpix rating of 9 mega pixels. I looked at DXO Mark's website and I found the lens, except they don't have any test data on it. I was wondering where you found this statistic because I cant seem to find it anywhere. I am planning on getting the D3300, but I'm trying to decide if I should buy the body only, and upgrade to a better lens. If the P-mpix stat of 9 mega pixels you cited is actually true, it is quite a substantial one.

[@piglet3188]

hey tony the d3300 does have hdr. there is a setting which does it. it takes 2 shots really quick.

[@JayAntoinette]

What a wonderfully detailed review. Thanks Tony!

[@Bielocke]

I was very much looking forward to this review guys. Let's see how this camera compares to the 5300

[@yveswouters4075]

nice review,verry helpfull and giving me the idea that i ordered the right product for a starting photographer.best tip;the use of the eye-fi card.

[@CharlesAlvear]

Thank you for this insightful, entertaining and thorough review. I'm off to Amazon to buy my first DSLR camera!

[@jmlb92]

What a great and thorough video. Excellent job!

[@savtelly3817]

Awesome review. It was extremely helpful. I like that it was unbiased for the most part as well.

[@orangbiasabiasa]

If I could give a million likes, I would. Very detailed explanation, you do know what you talk about. Thanks for the review.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

orangbiasabiasa Thanks! Glad to help.

[@orangbiasabiasa]

Tony Northrup Just one thing, what do you mean the lens could only afford to give a pic of 9MP quality? Been trying to do my own search on that, but to no avail.

[@cyphi1]

Retailers are including the wireless module and an SD card in bundles at many retailers. Bought my D3300 today.

[@CarlyWaarly]

Love the works and video Tony, I think these entry level cameras are exceptional for use in professional tool box, they have a place due to their tilting screens etc that the more expensive cameras do not have.

[@phillipcoffman2510]

Hey Tony great video I have a D 3200 which I really love and I also have a Nikon D 50 keep up the good work

[@tarunjeetsinghsalh]

thnx for this review .. just ordered yesterday along with 55-200mm kit... My 1st dslr.. :D

[@oncleschultz]

Love the cool and very documented way of your presentation

[@Imran_Sh]

Very well detailed with all the practical information. Thanks guys (y)

[@sweety17100]

Thankyou for helping me choose my first dslr :))..will be getting the Nikon d3300

[@pyronmasters]

DAMN!!! If you guys visited the West side of Puerto Rico, I could've given you a tour. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

[@jessiwalton3267]

Thank you so much for the very informative review! I just received a black model D3300 as a gift today after having my P520 bridge camera for a couple of years. I am really excited to learn with the kit lens and eventually work my way to upgrading the glass to take full advantage of our lovely new addition! is there a prize for being the 1500th like? lol :)

[@braydenmcright828]

Hello Mr.Northrup. I am getting into photography and I currently have a Canon Film 35mm SLR. I am looking at the Nikon D3200 and the D3300 right now. I take pictures and take videos of motocross. And I really like the video capability of the D3300. I also live near the mountains to take great pictures. I was wondering what you would get if you were in my situation. Thank you.

[@victoroliveira3256]

Great review I enjoyed it very much, your reviews are some of the best on the web keep up the excellent work thanks again

[@nagrotte]

i like your playing with your daughter Tony!!! good video as always

[@tastesawesome]

Thank you for this in depth review! Also, nice hat Tony! \m/

[@kg4irn]

I too would like to know where you find the pixel capabilities info for the lens in order to be able to take full advantage of the Nikon D3300?

[@estherhagnaya5803]

i really like ur camera review mr.tony.. once i watched ur review of canon cameras and i liked 6d..but it turned out my brother bought nikon 3300 for me..so now im watching ur review of this camera. hehe..tnx anyway..its been a big help.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Esther Hagnaya Glad to help, Esther!

[@ElizabethParish23]

The more I hear reviews complaining about the gaudy red the more I fall in love with the color :)

[@miguelmusik]

The best review on this camera, so Mr. Tony wich lens you recomend to take advantage of this camera on portraits, weddings etc.

[@MrMcgoo33]

Nice review, I have been using a Nikon p80 which was a good starter and now thinking to upgrade and a friend recommended the d3300. I do not do to many portraits but like to shoot shots of watches, cars and outside scenes though I take a lot of low light. So is this a good step up or should I widen my search?

[@unpreeable]

Tony Northrup i'm wondering if the d3300 or d5200 would be better for me.. i like more focus points with the 5200 but the d3300 is priced nicely. i been looking at both models for weeks

[@davideventura1837]

Great Review about Nikon D 3300

[@justicerevenge]

this is a GREAT and thorough review, thank you

[@gbmarshall]

On the D3300 is the video saved in MPEG format - I used to have a Canon video camera and it was AVCHD format - was a pain to edit, convert etc on PC. Thanks.

[@LenstuckStudios]

which camera is good for a beginner of fashion photography and which lens is suitable

[@myyoutube5422]

What a fantastic review, and a nice jacket! :) Thanks for explaining why 24.2 Megapixel is pretty useless because of the 9megpixel sensor glass. I've been using a compact camera for many years now and would like to switch to one of these with major consideration on the video, as well as zooming. My compact camera has so much blur and noise when zoomed, so that's a factor. What would you recommend for a cheap lens that would complement the 24.2 megapixel of this camera? Thanks again.

[@zackwilson3]

Thanks for all these videos!! I just bought the Nikon d3400 kit, and need to know what lens will get me the best landscape/ portrait pictures, and use as much of the 24 megapixels available, on a budget? does one exist under $1000? also, where can I go to learn about Len's? I'm newer to photography.

[@tesamuzquiz6459]

Great review! I'm looking to buy the D3300 some time soon. The only set back I am having is that because it is almost 2015 I am wondering if nikon will release a new, better, camera that is in the same price range. I do want a nikon but i prefer the newest camera. Do you know if they will release a new camera similar to the D3300? Do you think I should wait to buy a camera?

[@Hellbound831]

I recently bought this camera as my first dslr. I want to upgrade the lens,what lens(non prime) should I upgrade to? I like night photography especially for night shots of cars (not moving) and star shooting.

[@gbmarshall]

How can the kit lens have anything to do with 9 megapixels? It's just an optic...how can it 'limit' the image quality?

[@plgla2atl]

Getting my first DSLR, next week and this is the camera i decided to go for. When researching, the specs says that the d3300 has an internal focus motor but in reviews that I look at no one mentions it, wondering if you can confirm if it does or not, for this was a major factor that lead me away from the d3200. Learning a lot from your channel. Thanks.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Heya, Philip. The D3xxx and D5xxx series cameras don't have focus motors; you need to jump up to the D7100 (sdp.io/d7100). I cover this in my Photography Buying Guide (sdp.io/buybg).

[@tedgordon1578]

He talks pretty fast but is very understandable. Just bought A D3300 so have A lot to learn

[@woodandmetalandstuff]

Great video, Thanks Tony Northrup

[@GherkmanProductions]

Thinking of getting this camera however what lens would you recommend for everyday use/ wildlife and landscapes- particularly one that would eliminate most of the noise?

[@pencilboy34]

Hey tony, I recently went to Italy for a vacation and decided to bring my nikon d3300. I brought the stock lense and a af-s Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6g lense for longer range. Of course throughout the trip my nikon and the stock lense got a little banged up. The stock lense has minor dents and I noticed the rubber grip was starting to come out. How durable is the nikon d3300 and should I maybe exchange it for another one?

[@katiehuynh03]

Does the water resistant depend on the Nikon lens? Or is it pretty good by weather overall?

[@CMRinehart]

I'm a new Nikon D3300 owner. I added a very affordable new 55-200mm lens. Only $160 at B&H.

[@LJ4174]

Hi... Thanks for this video... HUGE HELP!!! I have a D3000 with an older 18-55 mm lens. It has an "af-s" lens, vs the "af-p" lens on my new D3300... The main reason I bought the D3300 was to add video functionality, but as you also pointed out. It seemed very similar the D5XXX models without spending the extra money. Is there a benefit to the older "af-s" lens? To gain the 24 MP capability?

[@BLynn942]

Very informative review! I did not realize that the lens could limit the number of MP in an image. Very surprised to find out that the kit lens with the D3300 would limit the image from a 24 MP sensor to 9 MP. Is there a way to find out the number of MP a lens would render? Again this is a fantastic and very informative review!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, Bill. Check out DXOMark--they have the best technical assessments of lens sharpness. It's just part of the picture, so to speak, but it's an interesting part.

[@BLynn942]

Thanks Tony! I will check it out.

[@msakr]

I was surprised by this information, too

[@PravinPatil41]

Why is the Nikon's Video capture so noisy as compared to Olympus? Is it the camera itself or is it due to the cheap kit lens? Sorry, I don't know much about cameras so asking. Great informative video btw. Thanks.

[@leilah9885]

+Pravin Patil the olympus has a pro lens on

[@fuuuuIND]

really great words about potrait photography

[@syedashrafulalam8853]

Hey man i really like ur review and now i can,t decide which one should i buy.Should i go with Canon 600d or nikon d3300 .Specially for photography???

[@ninus17]

i have decided to get a d3300 as my first dslr because it is the only camera within my budget as it is the cheapest dslr where i live now there is the Canon EOS 1300D but it costs more than the d3300 but that is the choice i have. which one would you reccomend ?

[@tb-nz]

Absolutely best review I've found, thank you so much!

[@sabbir9985]

Yo be honest I found this review THE Most Helpful one. A ton of information which is really helpful for the buyers. :)

[@Steelergeek69]

Hi tony! Nice work! I must stuck between buying the SL1 or d3300, What will be the better camera? What other Nikon lenses will take advantage of the 24 pixels ? With the Nikon "nifty fifty"do? Thanks

[@andysharp516]

Great video. Thanks. I've just bought the D3300 for my daughter and am now learning how to use it myself first! The camera came with two kit lenses and it was interesting to note that you mentioned that the 18-55 only has 9 Mpxl capability. Does this also apply when everything is in manual mode i.e. autofocus off etc? I like the idea of growing with the camera and the great range of interchangeable, high quality lense Nikon has to offer. Thanks again. Cheers!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Andy Sharp Thanks, Andy! Yes, autofocus doesn't impact the sharpness of the lens. But don't megapixels too much; it doesn't matter to most.

[@andysharp516]

Cheers! I'll see how she gets on with the package. Coming from starting with a non-parallax corrected, bellows B&W "compact" sideview Kodak as my first camera aged 8 and moving on to Minox C, Pentax ME Super (which it was), Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director, Bolex-Paillard P1 Zoom Reflex, Nikon R-10 Super 8 w/sound dubbing, various Olympus's (also very fine); I have learned the hard way. both in the still and movie making departments. I am still at a loss with all the advanced technology available today, that a simple pause button feature is not featured in Video Mode to enable reframing and change of shot/scene/lap-dissolve/fade in and out etc. These features are sadly lacking in many modern cameras which makes shooting decent, contiguous movies a chore that has to be done with an editing program. Such is life I suppose. Carry on with your great reviews!! Andy

[@ChrisTian-lf2oh]

Gotta love the red colour!

[@alexlanza79]

Very nice video, very helpful! I need and advice. I own a d3100 with a 18-55 lens, I bought it a couple of years ago and I do usually landscapes and sometimes I shoot during dance recitals or indor events. I really don't know if it's best for me to upgrade only the lens or also the camera. I don't care about the pixels, the 14mp on my 3100 are more than adequate, but I love the new features of the 3300 (better ISO range and no low pass filter) and I want to buy it together with a 50mm or a 35mm! What is your suggestion?

[@wesleyalee]

This is an "Old Dog-New Trick" question. A Konica Auto-Reflex T, 35mm, (film), was my first and only SLR camera, (circa 1968). I have used a "Bellows" attachment with a short lens for close-up photos of flowers, ect. What lens would you suggest for that sort of photo? PS, I was recently gifted this camera in "D3300 Dual Lens Wi-Fi Camera Outfit" kit form.

[@kathrynbaker2002]

would you be willing to do a review on the D3000? I'm a newbie and was gifted a Nikon D3000 but I haven't been able to find a good review or tutorial for it.

[@abhishekmajumdar5116]

[@ujjwalkumar3962]

Hi Toney, It was really helpful video, I just bought d3300; I am more into portraits and family photos, I am currenlt using the basic lens given with the kit, which lens I should go next? Please help.

[@maxatkinson8004]

Would it make a big difference using the d5300 over d3300 for bird and wildlife photography and also is the canon 700D as good as the d5300 in this regard. Pretty much do the extra AF points REALLY matter? Thanks,

[@Triplebuc50]

What is your opinion of the 35mm 1,8g lens and the 50mm 1.8g lens. I have the Nikon D3300 with Nikon kit lens and Nikon 55-200 lens, I am a Newbie to DSLR Photography.

[@thexavier666]

Thank you for this brilliant review!

[@swapniljborah]

Hi Tony. Excellent review. after seeing many reviews and according to my need and budget i have ordered D3300 along with the kit lens 18-55 mm from Amazon.in here in India. Also ordered your book of stunning digital photography. Also planning to get Nikon 55-200 mm, 1.8G 50 mm lenses. will these be sufficient for day to day photos at home, street or even when i am on tour. kindly suggest.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Swapnil Borah congrats! You should be all set for some time.

[@Threedaysextension]

I have been a fan of yours and I want to pursue photography. What beginner set up can you recommend? I want to shoot outdoors, portraits and HD videos also. I have a budget of $1000-1500. Thank you.

[@shaunhopkinson8667]

At about 8:20 was there a bit of a mix up? I'm just wondering because you mentioned the 5300 instead of the 3300

[@amnariaz1127]

Great video.. somebody please tell me if the nikon d5300 also gives just 9 mega pixels with the kit lens or we can get a whole of 24 mega pixels with the kit lens on d5300?

[@sambphillips959]

I am saving for the d3300 or d5300 as a 12 year old photographer. I love street photography, sports, long exposure and low light, especially in video. Are these the best first dslrs for me? I don't know if the d5300 let's you go fully manual in movie mode, which is a huge draw for me. Please reply anyone. Thank you.

[@abhishekpratapsingh377]

well reviewed, I'm in a bit confusion b/w D5200 and d3300 as d5200 is quite old but it has inbuilt stereo mic ...how much does this effect during video recording in comparison to d3300 mic...nd whch one is better overall?

[@sumitarya23]

hii , i am a big fan of yours ,have seen many of your videos , i currently have one canon 550 d with 18-55 kit lens ,a tamron 18-270 and a canon 50mm 1.8 , i want to move to a different camera , is this camera a better choice i have two cameras in mind canon 700 d and nikon d 3300 (700d is about 150$ costly in india and i am saving this for lens budget in case i move to nikon), and most importantly are they a worthy upgrade at all (i mostly click family pics) (i will be able to send my old camera easily with kit lens,but wont be able to sell the remaining two lens i guess)

[@chefgairo]

Thanks Tony for an awesome video, I bought d3300 few months back but it's only after watching your video couple of times that I could use it. I am just starting to learn dslr photography through KZbin ! I had a question regarding external flash. Which one would you recommend with this model, I see lot of options on Amazon but can't really choose one. Thanks again ... Looking forward to your advise :)

[@natureslap8861]

Hello Tony,It was so informative and very helpful. I am beginner in wildlife photography mostly birds..so i am confused between buying D3300 and T3i ( Where i could save a little and add it on 400mm lens).Help me out on this.Also what about Digiscoping ?

[@RahulShekhars]

I am confused between three very popular budget cameras, D3300, D5200 and the Canon 1300d(Rebel T6). I am a beginner and hope to learn on one of these, and they are all available at roughly the same price in my country. Initially I will be using the kit lens only, and later on get a 50mm lens for portraits. Advantages I see is D5200 has 39 AF points, D3300 is light, and T6 has better connectivity options. On the other hand T6 has Optical Low pass filter. Which one should I buy?

[@espresso4eva]

There's also a difference in sensor quality. If you like to post process your images heavily, Nikons are better bet. D5200 has some features that 3300 doesn't like delayed exposure, auto bracketing (for HDR), time lapse and more....

[@xoenaughgonnie499]

Hello Tony, I was wondering what would be a great prime lens for this camera i was thinking maybe a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens but I'm not quite sure. Thank you.

[@brianminkc]

I finally got a chance to shoot with a Canon... it was entry level but I have also been shooting with professionals that use Canon crop frame camera's. One thing I have really noticed is the better color and exposure in the Nikon. I had to keep changing the exposure compensation 1, sometimes 2 stops to get a good exposure depending on conditions. I shot with a pro last weekend with a 60D and he said he was changing his exposure 3 stops for clouds and stuff. I shot all day and never touched the exposure comp on my Nikon D5100. And the bacon.. Nikon delivered it..... I embarrassed two more experienced Canon shooters. I wouldn't consider any Canon crop except the 7D or the 70D. But seriously... I am glad I was shooting with the NIkon... the colors and exposures I got were stunning.

oh and btw Tony.. Nikons pop up flash is very good. It doens't blow like the canon on camera flash.
