Looking for a starter DSLR
Aug 10, 2014 20:24:43 #
Hi,
I am looking for a starter dslr for my 11 year old nephew. Ideally either with one lens that can go wide and long or 2 kit lenses- one wide and one long. It would be great to have a bag and uv lens, etc. Looking to spend max of $300.
Thanks!

Pick up a used Canon XSi with a kit lens. You should be able to pick one up pretty cheap.

I see you shoot Nikon. My first DSLR five years ago was a Nikon D40. I captured a lot of great shots with that camera. I just checked out Craigslist here in Austin and there's one for sale for $250 with two camera bags. http://austin.craigslist.org/pho/4508978818.html

For $300.00, look online for used or refurbished Nikon D3100, D3200. You can get other deals from Canon and other manufactures.

Hi Alisssa. What everyone else has said. BUT! Get him a Canon so he can borrow your lenses.:):):)

Try KEH.com. The suggestions for the D3xxx from Nikon are spot on and can share lenses with you. You can do a search by price range to give you ideas of what's in that range.

I just upgraded to a D7100 and have my D3200/18-55VR/70-300/assorted filters/2x teleconverter/wide angle add ons/2x extra off brand batteries/magnifying eyepiece/box, manual, strap, etc. plus a case. I may have miss a few things. I will have up for sale as soon as I find time to take pictures and run the ad.
It has less than 6,000 shutter actuations and well taken care of. It will be a bit more than your $300 budget but, worth considering.
P.S. all the photos on my flickr page (link on signature) were taken with this camera (different lens).
I have feedback on other sites for reference.
PM me if you like, Bill H.

I have a Canon 1D that works great. I thin hit has a kit 50mm lens and a 35 to 200 lens. I have an external flash and bag. I would be will Ingleside to send it to you to try. I guess $100.00 would be a good prive if you like it.
I haven't used it in five years.
Let me know, I will be back home Wednesday and I can send it to you.

I let my kids run around with my Nikon D50 its only 6MP but with a zoom they get good shots, learn and have a great time. I'm sure you can get one with a zoom in your price range.
