Cameras & Camcorders

[JenniferAshley1]

I'm a farm kid who loves to take photos around the farm. I currently have a Canon PowerShot, but am looking at upgrading to a new camera. A lot of my photos are taken out in a field of moving equipment so I need a camera that's easy to run around with and capture action shots. I plan to blow a lot of these photos up to use as larger photos so I'm not sure what megapixel I will need. I'm open to any suggestions or favorite cameras that people will recommend! Thank you!

Also,is there any photography 101 online classes that anyone would recommend?

To clarify... what is your budget? Are you considering an entry D3200?

A great place to learn I found are night school classes. Go to one where the teacher and classmates review each other's images.

[JenniferAshley1]

My budget would be under $500 and yes I was considering an entry D3200.

Yes, start with an entry D3100, D3200, or D3300.

Many of the accessories (including the lens) can be used for other more advanced Nikon's as you get more advanced.

There are more portable options like Mirrorless models.  But you'll find these Nikon models will save you money in the long run.

Hey JenniferAshley1,

The suggestions already given are good one. If you're not branded to Nikon you could also take a look at the Canon T3 or Sony a58.
