Hello to everybody.
I owned a Lumix g3 camera making some pictures (I dont consider my self as a pro or anything) mostly of friends and cause I like it as hobby. Never took money for the pics I made simply creating nice pictures for friends.
So as the time passed by I found my self in need in a new camera. I sold the old one I had and now I am in between D3300 and D5200. Well mostly cause thats what I can afford
D3300 at the cost of 475eur (600$) and D5200 at the cost of 550eur (~700$). Both bodies are included with 18-55 VR II lens
I won't ask whats the better one as this is for the needs of the user so I am simply going to write what I need from my camera and mostly what are the pros (at least as I found them over the past last days on Internet).
So first of all I want my camera for shooting INDOORs (portraits mostly) and eventualy OUTDOORs (landscape pics). I wont be using it so much to take pics of moving objects etc.. for that I will use the video if needed.
The pros I found and been told are the following
D3300 +
Ligther and more compact (430gr vs 555gr)
Latest model (2014 vs 2012)
Exspeed 4 (vs Exspeed 3)
75€ cheaper (475 vs 550) or 100$ if u prefer
D5200 +
39 focus points (vs 11) with 9 cross focus points instead of 1
Flip out screen
Been also told that the D3300 dont has a AA filter and D5200 has. I am not sure whether to put that as a PRO as some say its better in photogragy without that but some say its a must when you are shooting video. Also told (from an owner of D3200 and D5200) that the focusing is so much slower on D3200 especially at night. (Dont know if the same applies to D3300).
Last question is that.. is it worth the extra $$ for buying a 18-105 kit? I will shoot mostly indoors so the zoom wont be used much but I think the most zoom you pull the more better is the foreground (the model eventually) and the more disturbed is the backround (blurry) and thats kind what a portrait need.
Thank you in advance for the answers and sorry for my bad english.
