Looking for reviews and advice on the Nikon d3300 which I just purchased online for $375.00
You will have to spend a lot of money to get a better zoom combination than Nikon's 18-55 VRII (amazing for a kit lens) and their 70-300 4.5-5.6 G. Then the 50mm 1.8G also cheap.

That is a little unfair. He is his own context, and everything he says is appropriate for the photos he likes to take. He likes over vivid, nicely framed snapshot type photos - at least that is what he publishes. If you like his sample photos, believe what he writes.
Not "everything".

Just downloaded the latest version of Photoshop Elements (14) for 59.00 USD. It's plenty to get you started. Pays for itself in the 7th month of NOT paying 10/mo 'rent'. ;)
Get Paintshop Pro X8 for $28 and it's only 2.8 months if that really floats your boat.

Started on a D5200 and am now on a D7200. Learn the heck out of that D3300 and you'll be ready for the next step when the time comes, I've found pro style controls to be a big plus but learned on the D5200, which operates similarly to the D3300. Keep asking questions here at the Hog and helping others as you can. I'd highly recommend either Scott Kelby's series of books or Tony Northrup's $10 Kindle book, Stunning Digital Photography. It's a good field manual that takes you from the basics into every genre of image making. And, it's packed with hours of online video tutorials where he shows you how to do what he discusses in the book. The videos alone are worth it. He has a great discussion on RAW vs JPG. If you want to see a sample video from the book, just Google "Tony Northrup Back Button focus", this 5 minute video changed my world. Good luck.

The poster might not realize that the 40mm macro lens will focus with good bokeh at about two inches from the end of the lens and will focus to infinity.
I think the images from this lens are of very good quality, compared to the kit lens. It is often said to be one of Nikon's best lenses.

For beginning DSLR users. Ken Rockwell's site will tell you all about the 3300. Just don't believe everything he says.
