Nikon D3100 or D80...?

Q. l am looking into buying my first DSLR camera,I really want it for family pictures and baby portraits. So I have been looking into refurbished cameras and I found two that I am really debating between. I am obviously no pro so I understand that if I am bad a taking pictures it really wouldn't matter if I got the best one. My question is which of the two should I go with for the price? There is the Nikon d3100 or the Nikon d80. They are both the same exact price which of the two should I go for?

A. There is no comparison as such. You should go with D3100 as it has a newer sensor, shoots HD video and has newer technology. At some point, you would want to shoot a video too of your baby.
D80 used to be popular in its days, mostly for its build quality but as you are going to shoot indoor, build quality is not something you need to 'invest' in.
Now as you want to use the camera mostly for family abd baby photos, you should buy one of the following lenses. For indoor photos and for portraits, these lenses will take you far far ahead than where D80 or D3100 can take.

Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras by Nikon- around $200
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras by Nikon - around $100

These lenses will let you shoot in low light and will give nice background blurring with F1.8- F2 in Aperture Priority mode. Once you see the photos with these two lense, I am sure you will come back to this post and would want to thank me for this advice.

Good luck.


camera package advice?
Q. So im looking at packages such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/T3i-75-300mm-Telephoto-Accessory-Kit/dp/B005KUGXJW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368422743&sr=8-11&keywords=canon+rebel+t3i+packages
does this look like a good deal? do you know of any packages that come with canon brand accessories? Im looking for stuff under 750$ and want more lenses, filters, a memory card, and possibly a remote. thanks

A. http://www.amazon.com/T3i-75-300mm-Telephoto-Accessory-Kit/dp/B005KUGXJW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368422743&sr=8-11&keywords=canon+rebel+t3i+packages

This package isn't worth the money. A couple of flimsy tripods I wouldn't trust using with a point & shoot compact digital camera much less a DSLR. Canon's worst lens ever, the 75-300mm. A couple of cheap image degrading screw in attachments. Forget about this so-called deal.

Look at B&H for better deals. B&H has the T3i w/18-55mm zoom lens for $599.00 after a $50.00 'Instant Savings' that ends June 1, 2013. B&H also has a two lens kit - T3i w/18-55mm zoom and 55-250mm zoom - for $599.00 after a $200.00 'Instant Savings' that ends June 8, 2013.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com Just do a search for canon t3i and then make your decision as to which deal is best for you.
