    Of coarse this pops up after I dumped $800 on a lens kit from Camera House a couple months ago. Decent camera if you want to dip in photography and point and shoot don't cut it.

    Make sure you get a screen protector and not those shitty plastic ones. I found that dust manages to get under there and that annoys me. The glass protectors are perfect. Something like this (link). If you can manage it, get the SP 8302L by Giotto AEGIS if you can find it cheap locally. Basically, plastic "stick on" protectors - Nono. Glass "clip on" protectos - Yesyes.

    Also for newcommers wondering about lenses heres a quick rundown on terms. I'll use "Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Nikon-f" as a source:

    Break it down [Sigma] [4.5mm] [f/2.8] [EX DC HSM] [Nikon-f]

    Stigma is the brand of lens

    4.5mm is the focal length. Basically tells you how wide or how narrow the image will be. Big numbers mean big zoom and will give you more blurryness in he banground when focussing

    f/2.8 is the lens "speed", or "aperture". When you take a picture the shutter will open for a certain period of time (shutter speed) and a certain size (aperture) to let in light to expose an image.

    Smaller apperture can open larger to let more light in to expose the image. Useful for video. Lenses that have slow aperture (larger number) are more for photography. When shooting photos, a small aperture size will give you a crisper image, but requires more light (or more time) to expose. Shooting "faster", so fast pase scenarios like sporting events.

    EX DC HSM these terms are more brand specific for categorising lens classes, see here: http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/14388/what-do-the-l…

    and finally Nikon-f is a lens mount type. Basically means its developed for a particule Nikon mount (Nikon F-mount)

    I think thats about it. If I got something wrong please let me know. Happy shooting, pictures, legally.

    • (larger number) are more for photography. When shooting photos, a small aperture size will give you a crisper image, but requires more light (or more time) to expose.

      Er, not really. Set the aperture too high and you will get diffraction. Also most people go out of their way to get a fast lens for photography. You cant blur the backround without a fast lens eg this comparison?: http://www.video-corsi.com/fotografia/images/l1_03.jpg

      • True. But to be fair to the OP, they are only providing a very high level overview of the very basics. As most know, you could write a book or three on all the intricacies of taking photos.

  • Looks like this is body only. Georges (http://www.georges.com.au/index.php/digital-slr-cameras/niko…)is selling it cheaper at $558.
