What Is The Best Dslr For Beginners?

What are some good dslr cameras for beginners (hobby)?

• i'm going to get around 700 dollars soon. i've been dreaming of getting a dslr camera for years and i'm thinking nikon. but the only reason why i want a nikon is because i heard you can use the lenses from older nikons into the new ones. i don't really want to get a camera to make a profession out of it, it's solely for a hobby. lol by that i mean like, it doesn't have to be like top notch, because i don't know camera details anyway, hahaha. so i want to know what would be a good nikon camera for a beginner? i want it to be cheap too but like still a good quality camera. like a gooooood not over-priced nikon dslr camera for beginners. lololz

• Answer:

  For your price range, a Nikon D3000 @ 10.2MP or D3100 @ 14.2MP kit is a nice starter kit. I'd choose the D3100. A descent lens for a beginner, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. If you have old lenses from NIkon then I'd stay with the Nikon brand. Do a search on a nice price. Seems like the prices are going down slightly.
