Need An Entry Level DSLR

[ravi_rtr]

nikons af 70-300 is a bad lens
tamron 70-300 is better then this...but it doesnt have vibration reduction soo its very difficult to use it even in evening or low light
Nikon 55-300 vr is a good lens...no issues in this
nikon 70-300 vr is even better then this and maybe slightly costlier then 55-300

specific 35mm 40mm and 50mm r very useful in portrature photography..but maybe need some more practice.

check the specs of tripod...even if u get a cheap one dont keep ur gear alone on it...always keep strap around ur neck and use on cheap tripods..

flash u can buy a cheap one from ebay.com or if u want standard get metz or nissin

Thanks for the suggestions, then i'll have to wait for some time in order to lay my hands on the Nikon 55-300 VR. and for prime it'll take some more, or rather i'll go for the prime first and then for the zoom one later.

if u somehow want good pics in low light like indoor and dont want to use flash much then prime is the only solution

First, play around with the kit lens, its a f/3.5-5.6 and good walkaround lens. Learn playing with settings, shutter speed, aperture because starting instantly with a prime (since I assume you're a novice), that too with a prime (sans AF motor ~5K), getting focus right might be a typical task then.

Play with MF and AF first, get hold of the camera then graduate to prime or zoom lens.

noo dont start with a MF lens I was talking about AFS 50mm AFS 35mm and AFS micro 40mm

and yaah prime needs practice and patience...

I got great results with my MF prime 50mm...but it is certainly difficult for new guys
