Nikon D610 24.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Kit with 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens (Electronics)

Coming from someone who has own a multitude of cameras, this has been the best by far. I did quite extensive research into Nikons and this one sold me. Solid build, more than decent kit lense and to top it off, awesome pictures. I have had so much fun with this camera, I look for any reason to go out and shoot. The bag this kit comes with is extremely big, considering that if this is all you have for gear, but it certainly offers up extra room if needed for lenses and other gear. The memory card included performs as it should and makes for a great extra, since this camera handles two cards. I am still learning with this camera, but it is a joy to work with. I love the challenge and furthermore, my hobby is taking off.

I love this camera. I get great shots, it is durable, and easy to use once I figured out a couple tricks. I have had one issue lately where I snap a few in a row on continuous and it freezes. I can't turn it off and in order to live forward I have to actually pop the battery out and back in. Unfortunately when I do that then I lose that stream of pictures that it was trying to load. I have fast speed memory cards so I think it is the camera. Something that helped was turning the display off (preventing it from trying to show me every picture after I take it). I would love to see each photo after I take it to review lighting and composure but I would much rather be able to make it through a photoshoot with having to take my battery out. I think the camera is just thinking too hard to display them and quickly turn around and keep shooting. That trick has worked and I haven't had a problem with it since
