I want to buy an entry-level SLR, but my budget is not high. What do you think about the Nikon D5200? What lens should it go with?

Hello!

When choosing a SLR digital camera, choose the brand first, and Nikon and Canon are the two of them, because these two brands are traditional camera manufacturers with a long history and are among the best. The product has high credibility. Both lenses and accessories are very rich and complete. As for which brand to choose, the key is which brand's imaging style you like. Canon's imaging is soft and delicate, while Nikon's imaging is sharp, with saturated and rich colors (I personally prefer Nikon, and I also use a Nikon camera, which is very good at shooting scenery).

The Nikon D5200 you are talking about is the entry-level model of Nikon SLR digital camera. It is better than the D3000 series, and its performance is still good. Its main features are: 24 million pixels, which is inferior to previous mid-range cameras. 39-point focusing, rotating screen design, etc. are its highlights. The current price of the set machine (18-55) is around 3700, because its updated model D5300 has been on the market for a long time, and now the price is stable and it is ready to be sold. If you are a beginner and just take general photos, the entry-level camera kit is enough. It can fully meet most of your daily shooting needs. You can add corresponding lenses and accessories when you have higher requirements in the future. Digital products are updated very quickly, so don’t think about getting it right in one step.

You can take a look at these websites and compare based on the points I mentioned above: 1. Ruiyi.com: a well-known domestic photography equipment website with comprehensive introduction to cameras and high credibility, where you can learn about the latest equipment prices. 2Seyingwuji.com and Hummingbird.com: well-known professional comprehensive photography websites in China. It includes equipment reviews, netizen reviews, photography knowledge, photography works, etc.

I wish you find a camera you are satisfied with as soon as possible.
