A Glimpse of Starlight

Hello, good readers! I’d love if you guys could help me with a decision I’m facing. I’ve been saving up for a while now to buy a nicer camera—right now I have a nice point-and-shoot, but I’m ready for something more. I want to get an entry-level DLSR, not something ultra fancy, but something that provides good quality photos and that I won’t grow out of too quickly. I’m not looking to become a professional photographer; it’s only a hobby, but enough of one that I want a DLSR. Here’s where you could help: Do you own such a camera or just have camera knowledge? If you do, I’d love to know:

• Is there a camera you’d reccommend for me? Do you own one similar to what I’m looking for? Nikon v. Canon? Anything you know and any experience/opinions you have would be appreicated.

• What lenses should I get to start out with? Brands you’d reccommend?

I’ve researched this, and I’m considering a Nikon D5500 or Canon T6i. I’d love to hear your thoughts on those in particular or if you have another one you really like.

Thank you all for taking some time out of your day to help me and give me your thoughts! I’ll be back tomorrow with a Fireside Fridays post; see you then!
