Welcome to the forum Tess. The 200-500 is a great lens and saw one or two on Used Photo Pro site for around $1k to start. Your camera will do its job if you do yours😎. Have fun

Welcome Tess and the folks here will help you with everything you need in your work.

Welcome Tess, the photo's in your D3200 will be just as sharp as in a D5300, the only difference is the D5300 might be easier to change settings. The 24 mp's in your D3200 is the same as most of the newer Nikon's.
