I have long quarreled with me and then yet decided on the purchase of my first SLR camera. After a long search and consideration of facilities, comfort, service and price, I decided for the Nikon D200 with 18-55 kit. The 24 million pixel CMOS sensor is outstanding for my impressions. It was important for me also a folding screen. With 3-inch 921,000 pixel and this is also large and good enough to get a first impression of the scoring record. Even as I wear glasses must accept any loss in the optical viewfinder. The use of Nikon with the different setting options on the Dsiplay was also a crucial factor in my decision. Here you should compare the different manufacturers and choose the best suitable concept. The processing of the SLR camera's high-quality and stable. The kit lens I have, however, very quickly through a Tamron (18-270) and another Sigma lens (150-500) replaced. Conclusion: As a beginner I have a lot of fun with the quality of the Nikon D5200 and am absolutely satisfied with the services offered for that price.
