I have been using Nikon for several years now, I really like it. A friend of mine has a Sony DSLR. Costs more. But the quality of the pictures is not much different. You can get great photos if you set it up correctly. In general, it seems to me that there will be an experience - there will be good photos :) Pros: 1 Manual shooting modes. You can customize everything for yourself (shutter speed, aperture, AF area, ISO, exposure, etc.) 2 picture controls. Ability to change brightness, sharpness, contrast; b/w with shades of different colors. 3 The battery is good! It does not charge for long, but it is enough for ~ 600 photos! 4 The mirror slams softly. And in general, everything is very convenient. The body material is pleasant. 5 The flash is strong. Indoors, pictures are good. Has cons: 1 Focus sometimes misses 2 The screen distorts the picture a little. On the monitor, everything is different. 3 Backlash battery cover and flash drive. Unpleasant. 4 Life mode - view is very slow. It slows down terribly .
