I want to get a DSLR (will be my first) and I'm not sure

>>2931400 (OP)

What kind of photography are you interested in? Portraiture, landscape, sports, wildlife, street, architecture...? How important are size and weight to you? Do you care about video features? Do you plan on buying more lenses down the line?

Soory, forgot about that. I'm mostly interested in street photography (also at night), landscapes and portraiture. Size doesn't matter that much, but it shouldn't weight too much because I'll carry it for a long time when I'm hiking or something. Although it shouldn't be problem when I'm carrying it in a backpack, if it's not 5kg. The video feature is interesting (even more with 60fps) but I don't see myself needing it anytime soon. I'm not against buying more lenses, but before that I think I should become better with what I have at hand.

I bought my first DSLR relatively recently, 4 months ago and it is the Nikon D3300 with the kit lens you mentioned

For a beginner, I'd say it's great, however, I quickly learned everything there is to learn on a basic level, and now it seems a little limiting

But it is a great camera, I'd recommend it, easy to get a good hang with it and the image quality with the kit lens is rather nice, however I'd recommend getting a 55 - 200mm (or similar) lens for further away subjects

Btw, I'm pretty sure you can get it for cheaper, I got mine with the lens and delivery for 390€, but perhaps it's differently priced where you live

Stick with mirrorless,

the wysiwyg viewfinder will help you improve your skills with exposure exponentially faster, not to mention the viewfinder will be much larger, more useful in low light, far superior with manual focus lenses, smaller, lighter, you can adapt any old lens to them so you have lots of super affordable options.

What you miss out on; clacky mirror sound, looking like a doofus.

The Sony aps-c range is perfect for beginners, anything from the old nex-3 to the a6300 depending on your wallet and needs, personally I'd stick to the nex-6, nex-7, a3000, a6000 and a6300 as they all have viewfinders. I recommend Sony over Fuji, as Fuji's lens options are pretty dire and horrendously expensive, Sony gets the super cheap, amazing quality Sigma DN range of primes, along with an upgrade path if you wish to push this hobby further in the future.

You should be watching used cameras instead, you'll get sufficient IQ and good ergonomics for a lot less vs buying new.
Recommended bodies:
>Nikon D7xxx
>Canon 70D
>Pentax K3 or K5 (though continuos AF performance will be worse vs Canikon)

If you absolutely want to buy new stuff, get the Pentax one out of those three. Nikon D3xxx/5xxx -series offer good IQ, but they suck at ergonomics due to Nikons policy of gimping the bodies in a way that can necessitate an eventual upgrade to a more expensive models. Their viewfinders are tiny and dim (cheaper pentamirrors instead of pentaprisms), there's not enough buttons to immediately access things you may need to change on the fly, they lack weather or dust sealing, old-school AF-systems etc.

Sony also has limited and pricey selections. the only plus is that you can use Minolta A-mount lenses with the Alpha series bodies with a cropped sensor.
i have a sony a77II

I'm talking about the E mount range only, a mount is all but dead.

With E mount you can use an adapter to get incredibly usable results from autofocus Canon lenses, or with the A mount converter for older sony/minolta stuff.

So you like my photo, eh? That was taken with medium format film.

You da freaking BOSS!

OP here
>>2931804
I'll keep that in mind. And for the prices, I was just taking the normal Amazon prices for better comparison.
>>2931818
That's a pretty good idea, I didn't think about buying a used one. If I buy a used one, I think it'd be a Nikon D7xxxs, not sure which tho.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll stick with mirror.

Your photos from the japan thread are all so awesome!

I'd also like some help deciding on my first DSLR. Im looking at the Nikon D5300, but there also a nice special on a EOS 750D. Im looking at taking star photography. Can anyone maybe recommend a different cheap camera I should look at.

Op
The cameras you mentioned are apsc sensors, therefor get the nikon body with a 35mm 1,8 lens...that will make it to 50mm
Canon doesnt have an apsc lens like nikon does...
Get a d5200 maybe and buy a 2nd hand lens nikkor 35mm 1,8
