make sure you actually use it.

The D3300 is a great camera for beginners or if you're on a budget. Definitely get it refurbished (Make sure it's a trustworthy source though, not grey-market.) A good refurb 3300 should run you about $450-500.

Basic rules of DSLRs are not to use the presets (Use M, A, S, or P, or auto if you are desperate. P is easy to use), and learn when to tweak your aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

That wifi adapter solution sucks. And you might want to buy a higher-end camera if you buy Nikon. It's Nikon's plan to make you do that anyhow, and they succeed very often.

>>2984848
don't do it.
get a pentax k70 instead or sony a6000.

An a6000 and speedbooster that doesn't suck dick costs as much as an a7.

What a dumb suggestion.

Especially as even the best speedboosters massively degrade iq.

>>2986494

Where can you get an a7 for $800?

>>2986497
Keh

>>2986499

New?

God damn, I gotta get one then.

>>2986500
Not new, but in very good condition, it has been down at 799 with rebates though from standard retailers.

>>2986508

I have had terrible experiences with Keh used products.

I will keep na eye out for it on sale. $800 is an awesome price.
