Instead, I purchased the Nikon body for $650, and invested in two nicer, different lenses right away (notes below), that I actually use. I didn’t do this the first time and ended up never using the kit lens. My suggestion for an affordable camera? Buy the body only. It’s cheaper and if you want a really good lens, skip right past the kit. Jennifer uses a Canon and loves it, but she had to invest a lot more initially, so keep that in mind if you’re on the lookout for dSLRs! In my opinion they’re also easier to use. Though I’ve used Canons a couple times, I’m comfortable with Nikon and it’s almost always more affordable. I recently bought a Nikon D5300. Before, I used a Nikon D40 for about 6 years (which I’d still have if I had taken care of it). It was the BEST deal on a good camera. ^ When I don’t have my camera or phone = grainy photos. For blogging purposes, I prefer (and so does my wallet) to keep my equipment stash fairly small, and as efficient as possible! So, here’s what I use, if you care to know! CAUTION: This post is LONG. Last week, I talked about how I make the most of lighting, and now we’re on to the equipment. I’ve seen so many posts about photography over the last few years, but most of the time I couldn’t take the advice because I didn’t have over $2,000 to spend.
