you have enough lenses to start with. i would recommend that you spend a little extra and only buy fx lenses in the future. you may invest a great deal of money in lenses, much more than you invest in a camera body, and if you get really interested in photography in the future and decide to purchase a full frame camera, and if you photograph wildlife and landscapes, you will want a full frame camera in the future, you will not need to reinvest in lenses. fx lenses work great on dx cameras, but dx lenses decrease the image quality on an fx camera.
zoom lenses can produce great photos with good quality images. they are great if you are going out in the field for a day, or on vacation, and do not want to lug several extra lenses for different situations.
prime lenses are usually of better quality and are great if you know what the focal length will be prior to going to your shoot and will be going through the effort to set up a tripod and will be shooting with one lens for the day, or if you do not mind taking several lenses with you and changing them in the field.
lightroom is a great photo editing program, easy learning curve to begin with. there are a lot of you tube tutorials that you may learn for free. if you are more of a bookworm, there are many great books to learn from, just choose a book that is easy for you to follow, everyone has a different level at which they enjoy to learn. also, google learning lightroom and you will find several free tips on using it.
you purchased a good intro camera. my advice would be to not skimp on your lenses. always save a little longer and purchase only fx (full frame) lenses. they will work great on your dx camera, and if you decide you enjoy photography, you will eventually desire a fx camera in the future and you will not need to reinvest in lenses. the lens is the second most important part of great photography, the most important being the human factor.
on post processing, lightroom and photoshop are the best two programs to process raw photos in my opinion. you can purchase both programs for about 10-15 dollars a month from adobe. lightroom is easy to learn and you will be able to quickly process your photos immediately. photoshop has a larger learning curve, but there are many tutorials online and on youtube. have fun and be patient
better iso and larger buffer
you do not really get more "reach" from a cropped sensor, your are just cropping the photo as you are taking your photo. the same effect may be accomplished by cropping during post processing.
30 minutes northwest of the strip is red rock canyon, a federal park. excellent place to take photos and spend an entire day with great landscape. rent a car and it is easy to find and get to. if you like cliff climbing, that can be done there also.
you may also want to check out the tamron 150-600mm. great lens for much less money. maybe you could rent both lenses and compare the images. about the d750, i have both the d7200 and the d750 and love both cameras, but i have to say the d7200 has become my backup camera as the d750 is so much nicer to me.
whatever you buy, make sure it is what you want, if you need to save a little longer to get what fits your needs, it is worth the wait. you will invest more in lenses than you will in cameras and the lenses may move on to your next camera if you decide to upgrade. there are many avenues to rent a lens and try it out before you buy one. i would recommend buying only fx (full frame) lenses. they are of better quality usually and if you ever decide to upgrade to a full frame camera, such as a d750 or d810, then you will not need to reinvest in lenses. happy shooting.
canon is the best deal for now, but epson has several tough and reliable printers, such as the 850, that are smaller and easier to find a place to set it up. if you have the room, go for the canon pro 100, if not, check out the reviews on the epson xp-850. enjoy
but if someone does not ask questions, how will he/she ever be ready? i think it is a very good first step.
d3200 and d5300 are entry level cameras, meaning you will eventually upgrade if you get serious about photography. the d750 and d810 are full frame cameras that give you more control and easier control of your shots when you get more serious about photography. the d4 is a professional camera, usually not needed to get quality photos unless you just have a limitless budget and like to have bragging rights. the most important investment will be your lenses. always invest in fx lenses as opposed to dx lenses. if you purchase a dx camera like the d3200, d5300, or the d7200, the full frame (fx) lenses will work just as well as the dx lenses, but, if you ever upgrade to a full frame camera like the d750 or d810, you will not need to reinvest in full frame lenses and will save a great deal of money in the long run. enjoy shooting.
DO NOT USE A QTIP, it will leave dust and smear. use a special wipe. check with your camera store.
JPEG photos may lose quality over time, raw will not
the nikon d5200 is a great camera, congrats. that being said, when you purchase lenses, save up and buy the best lens you can, and make sure to buy ff (full frame) lenses, not dx lenses. the reason is, if you get serious about photography, you will eventually decide to go full frame as opposed to dx, better quality photos. ff lenses work fine on dx cameras and you will invest more money on lenses than you will on camera bodies. when you go to a full frame camera, consider the nikon d750, it will work similarly to your d5200. as for the lenses, opt for a good zoom lens that will range from a low end of about 28mm to a high end of 300mm. that will take care of most situations you encounter. then concentrate on prime lenses from about 24mm to 300mm. check on off brand lenses like tamron for lower prices, they are excellant lenses and will work fine for your camera. also check bh photography on the internet. they sell great used lenses and they grade the quality of the lenses. i usually make sure the lens is graded 8.5 or higher and have always had good luck with them.
