So it's time to upgrade to a DSLR. I like to take pictures, but I find my little point and clicks lacking in the quality output I need. So here are my questions...
1. Canon or Nikon? Why?
2. Specific lens recommendations? I don't want to buy something that's only ok when I could've bought a better lens for $100 or $200 more. I will be using this on the range to get both good up close pictures (think flying brass), as well as general group shots. Pretty sure I need to cover a range of 18-200mm. That can be two separate lenses if needed.
3. Total price needs to stay under $1000. Obviously this is not gonna get me awesome, but it gets me started. I can upgrade lenses later, but like I said earlier, I don't wanna get junk now either.
4. I'm looking at the Nikon D3200. It's a new model. It comes in red. Pros and cons?
Thanks for your help!
