DSLR for my wife for Christmas gift. Need some ad
. I'm thinking about the D7100 or the D610 for her. Her P&S is a Canon and I know she would like to stick with Canon, but doing so would mean she would not be able to use any of my lenses and would require more money spent on Canon glass. So that for obvious reasons isn't my first choice. But I'm open to suggestions.What do you all think? Budget would be ideally under $1800 for body.
Also I will add you can use your Nikon glass on a Canon with an adapter, but not the other way around. That is if she wants to stay with a Canon. It really depends on which P&S she has. Is it one of those Dslr like P&S. or is it your standard little pocket camera? If it is a pocket cam then she will not notice any difference,
LOL I want a new camera for Christmas!Really though, I would say the D5200 or even the D3200 would be a lovely camera for your wife.
Nikon D700: 50mm, 14-24mm, 85mm, 105mm 70-200mm, 150-500mm (Sigma), SB-900

true, but that just means more glass I would have to buy for her.I'm leaning towards the D5200. I'm going to look at one of these tomorrow.
Thanks everyone

Owning an X-Pro 1 has taught me Fuji is for people with patience. LOL.
Maybe an X-E2 would be great. Consider a Fuji X-E2 OP. Apparently the AF etc. is much improved. Fuji do have some mighty fine IQ for sure.
IN FACT this would be very nice and not too pricy:
