I would like to upgrade my camera. I currently have a J1 that is about 7 years old. I mainly shoot my kids playing sports - lacrosse and football. The surroundings can be inside, daytime or night under turf lights. I do like the size of the Sony a6300 but have been told it wont perform well under the lights, at least as good as a DSLR would. Do you have any suggestions or advise on a camera that would fit my needs? Thank you.
I had a Nikon S1 and J1 also. Still have the S1. I bought a used Nikon 1 V1 camera from KEH and I love it. It is with me 90% of the time and other 10% I am using my Nikon DSLR. I recommend you check the V1 out. I think you will be impressed.

** Makes perfect sense, so why are there so many mirrorless cameras for sale that lack viewfinders? Could this be the solution?
A simpler fix.

There are various shading devices you can put over the LCD screen to take care of that problem.

I have done business with them on numerous occasions. Both buying and selling. They are flawless and right up there with B&H and Adorama.

I can't afford the new one, but the previous version looks like it performs well. Would put on my D7200 or new D500.
and plus or minuses?
and plus or minuses?
I have one on my Nikon D50 for backup. Never comes off except for cleanings.

Hi. I was premature in my hope to buy a camera soon ... other expenses have preempted that for a while. Are there any useful discussions, tutorials, etc. on how to use my cellphone to learn some good (newbie) photography principles in the meantime? To, say, take *better* photographs, instead of taking poor or average photographs, and then to store them on my phone or computer for later review and possible editing or discarding? Thanks!
Others have pointed out the Value of using a full function camera for learning Photography. Used older entry level DSLR's are going for a song. My Son just picked up a Nikon D-50 on Ebay for less than $40.00. It is a full function DSLR and he has taken amazing pictures with it. If I were you that's the way I would go until I could save up and get the Camera I wanted.

My Nikon D50 would be in the same category as the Canon this entry is about. It is worth nothing if I were to sell it. I still use it along with my other cameras. It still turns out remarkable pictures if you don't crop or need enlargement prints. I bought it new and it has served me well over the years. Wouldn't think of getting rid of it.

There is no better one. It is only what you prefer. Go to a photography store and handle them yourself. Then make your decision.

Okay, I will admit it... I'm still shooting with a Nikon D40X and I absolutely love the thing. It's like an old battle axe. I've never had a single bit of trouble with it and still use the original battery which I just keep recharging. I know there are better, newer, nicer and more expensive Nikons out there, but I just refuse to give the thing up! It's like an old comfortable pair of boots, why change when it still shoots so well. Comments ?
I still shoot with my Nikon D50. Of course it's not wrong.

I want to purchase the Nikon 55-200 DX VR II lens for my Nikon D3300 Camera. Looking for any fellow Hedgehogs that may have experience and advice about this lens. I recently purchased my D3300 with the 18-55 DX VR II kit lens.
I realize it is not the "Top Choice", but I have limited funds to purchase a decent Telephoto lens for my interest in Landscape and Nature Photography. Your honest opinions please. Thanks.

I have that lens and it has served me well. After the purchase of my 18-200 VR lens the 55-200 has mostly stayed in my bag however. It is a kit lens but will readily suffice as your first telephoto lens.

I'm looking to purchase a used Nikon lens. I've priced it at B&H and also at KEH. Right now KEH is offering 15-30% off. Please comment on KEH...are they trustworthy???? Thanks....
Just received my Nikon 1 V1 Body today along with the dedicated flash that goes with it. Both were flawless like Brand New. This is the kind of service I have always gotten from KEH. I look nowhere else for Used gear.

yes buying only on free shipping days is the way to go, and the 39 cent lens that I just got was a film lens but it works nicely on my D800, on new lenses they are not cheap, along with the cheap lens I bought 2 more lenses one a 24mm sigma, and a 14mm sigma they were cheaper by 125.00 than the nearest competitor, a person just needs to shop the site and be willing to use a lens thats a couple to a few years old or the newest thing out there
Just received my Nikon 1 V1 Camera today. I did not pay shipping. Maybe I just lucked out.
