Help 3 cameras Dslr Hello, first off sorry for my english. So, I was thinking about buying one of this 3 Models. I have read many, many tests, but the more i read the more confused i became.. i need a help from you people with more experience in dslr. 1- Pentax k3 with 18-55mm and 55-200mm kit 2- Nikon d5500 with 18-55mm and 55-200mm kit 3- Nikon d7100 with 18-105mm kit What would you prefer? Keep in mind that i don't care about the wifi or the touch screen of the d5500. I'm looking for, in this 3, the one with better image quality and functionality considering that those are all kit lens. Thanks in advance.
Even with the kit lens the D7100 looks to be a better camera. The weather sealing, viewfinder, shutter speed and the autofocus points (autofocusing system actually) make it a better purchase. Kit lenses are fine for when you start. Regardless of which way you go, should photography be something you actually enjoy, you WILL upgrade your lenses to something much much better than what comes with the camera. I personally wouldn't buy based on what kit lenses come with a camera. Sometimes you can buy a body with a decent lens as a bundle (I know Canon, with their full frame sensor models will often have a decent lens in a bundle) as opposed to a cheap "kit lens". That might be the only time I would personally put any weight on what's included if it's a lens I would have wanted and if there is significant saving over buying a body alone + lens.
Thank you all for the help. I bought the Nikon D7100 with a different kit lens. The 18-200mm vrII. So far i'm really happy with it.
The 18-200 is acceptable, however, don't expect good results at 200mm! Invest if possible on some good zoom or prime lenses. 105mm f2.8 macro, 70-200 f2.8, 17-50mm f2.8, 12-24 f4. etc...
I would buy the new Nikon 7200 www.dpreview.com/previews/nikon-d7200 The sensor and mainly the AF system is way better...
