In the market for a nice (mid-level) digital slr package with 2 lenses. Leaning towards the Nikon 5100.. since we have a heck of a lot of great pix posted here, thought this would be a popular item to weigh in on.. Discuss

The D5100, which I own, is really entry level. As a complete beginner I am very happy with it.
I can't speak for Canon but when I researched this very topic I came up with these answers.
1. The difference between the 2 is minimal. ( similar price ranges)
2. Go to a store and mess around with both. Buy what feels better.
3. More experienced photographers that shoot with either brand, do so because they kept buying the brand they started with.
I can see myself shopping for a better body next year. It will be a Nikon for sure.
Hope this help and good luck.
thx, just realized my wifes old camera is a canon rebel (film) and even though the old zoom telephoto would be manual, it will still work with the new digital canon bodies..may as well go with canon
btw car pic looks great..still on the hunt for my first zhp
There you. The Canon already makes sense. Now you just have to figure out which one. Good luck!
the t1i, 2i, and 3i
are all great cameras
i have been getting used to the Nikon d3100 (been to best buy like 5 times already lol)
canons look great though

First. Do we need a general photography thread in Casey's Corner? My instinct was to put this there, but it really wasn't appropriate.
Anyway. I'm looking to pick up a new lens and wanted some input. I have the Nikon D5100 (w/ kit lens). I also picked up the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 that I use for portraits.
I'm looking for something non-prime (I think) that's versatile. Mostly for Car shots, Landscapes (not super wide) and maybe multi-person portraits. Am I asking too much of one lens?
Any suggestions? I looked at the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 Im not sure that my skill level or camera body warrants a $1600.00 lens though. Im sure I can shave 60% off that going with a Sigma.Not sure if that's smart.
Figured Id throw it out there before dropping the cash. Thanks!
Best multipurpose lens is 18-200 imo...
It's finally time to settle down,
my name is Nelson.
^youre not gonna get the same quality glass out of a lens with that much zoom though.
I say look for a lightly used 24-70 2.8 on amazon or fredmiranda.com and save a few hundred bucks, but get the real deal if you plan on doing photography as a serious hobby or possibly to shoot for pay or print for pay.
