I use the Nikon now for half a year and had already very much in use. So far, she has done everything exactly as I wanted it and had no problems or anything else. She makes a high quality impression when you hold in your hand and is by the small size and the great handling is the ideal companion when traveling. The photo quality is with the 18-55 VR also good to very good, with one lens default course can still upgrade and if you have more money to spend, I'd recommend to get you started even more the 18-105er. Of course you have the right settings but also learn that is in the camera very easy thanks to the clear menu you initially has a lot of "aha moments" where you then discovered some new useful functions as an entry for good photos for now. The Guide Mode has now personally not really helped me, however, this is also intended more for people who really never had a camera in hand I suppose. Video quality on the stand at stall or completely gentle swirling is Best, but if you film in walking or standing, compact cameras are much better. However, this is merely incidental since I want to do with a DSLR mainly photos. Although I find it a pity that the slow motion only in 720p is possible. The battery lasts a long time and is recharged rapidly again, what has astonished me. Ca 1 1/2 hours in Live View mode, you can make a video, unfortunately, the display can not be turned off while a video. Images are distributed through the viewfinder during normal operation over a day Ca 500 possible with accompanying remote control for Timelapse shots but even up to 1500 with a battery in it.
Conclusion: For the budget conscious and for beginners in my opinion the best solution'm absolout pleased with her the small negative points it has are there if you look at the price not worth deducted a star. So you can buy with a clear conscience and I think also for advanced it still has enough loose and you can have lots of fun with it.
