Well I want to re-iterate that I really don't have any loyalties when it comes to brands. (looking at the fitting on the bodies I can't see why the lenses won't work between brands but then I'm just being stupid probably)
Looking at it, I think the 70D and the D3200 are definitely my two choices. I'm told Nikon are better in low light and Canon's shutters are quicker, but looking at the light settings both of those receivers have the same low light settings =/
I am kind of leaning towards Nikon right now... 24mp sensor, 1080p video, and it looks a bit more rugged.Nikons are great. I actually spent about two years shooting Canon before I moved everything over to Nikon back when I was a pro. Much better build quality and I prefer the Nikon lens selection as well.
And dat red...
If you already have Canon lenses available I would highly suggest a Canon.
Question though....are those lenses made for the APS-C sensor or a Full Frame sensor?

If i did have canon lens laying around the house i would have definitely gone canon. However my GF's parents only used the stock lens so im starting my camera journey fresh. I loved the canon idk why i got a nikon, some thing new to play with i guess? Dustin may have had an influence on my brand choice though, love the shots he pulls of with his nikon. And is there to help with troubleshooting
I'm pretty sure they are stock lenses. I don't know the first thing about them, but they are both about 6/7 inches long and don't look like they are anything special.
I wouldn't know what they are made for. All I know is that my dad has a 300d or something.
I think I will go for a 3200D =/yeeesss

yesssssssssssssssss
yes. mirrorless cameras are perfectly fine at doing all of that and more.
a6000 is one of the best cameras out there under 1k. the 11fps with 150+ focus points is AMAZING at action shots. it's about 650 in canada.
why do you think mirrorless cameras are bad?
for non specialized usages, such as shooting in a cave, they're perfectly fine. when you buy a crop sensor dslr, you're pretty much saying, i want the exact same photoquality (if not worse) and i also want it to be 50% to 100% heavier.
Because I would like a really good quality camera, with versatility for taking great snaps in different situations (and keyboard photos) and I don't want to pay stupid money for a pro camera.

Picked up this 40mm w/ a mini tripod, cant wait for it to come in the mail XD. Figured i'd mostly be shooting keyboards/keycaps with it so lightblock shouldnt be an issue.
Just wanted to add a comment om the mirror vs mirrorless debate. I have huge hands and none of the mirrorless camereas i tried have an handgrip that fits my hand. Mirrorless cameras are good but I can't stand the ergonomics.
So as I said last night, the two new camera threads that popped up got me looking at cameras again because really, why not?
I have a t4i now, so first up on the thoughts is a new canon. Specifically the 70D
Then, because mirrorless has made a significant jump since I last looked at this stuff:
Sony a6000
Sony a5100
Samsung NX300
Samsung Galaxy NX
Olympus OM-D-EM10
I love the idea of using my phone as a remote and viewfinder. I'm leaning to the a6000, as it seems to slightly edge everything else out or tie with the more expensive of the cameras I've mentioned so far. Fortunately, my camera's still got enough value that with lenses, I can sell it and get into a starter system with any of the non canon options save the galaxy nx. Any thoughts? I'll use this mainly for product shots, but if I get a mirrorless, I'll be more inclined to take it places to shoot and take more dog pictures, too.
I think my dad has some normal basic lenses tbh. I don't think he spent that much on the camera but I was just thinking for the lenses I would buy so he could use them.
You think I could get a 70D for that much? From ebay or something? I haven't got any myself, and I am pretty new to all of this sort of stuff, so I would need to start from the bottom.

Since I went to an a6000 I haven't looked back. I picked up a nice prime lens and a telephoto, too and I like everything about it. The wireless transfer, smartphone remote, how it operates on its own, I can't see replacing this for a very long time.
Would you do a Mirror less Camera, maybe Sony a6000? From the reviews I've watched it's comparable to any DSLR.
a6000 + 50mm f 1.8 is like 850 atm right?
pretty affordable and spectacular performance.

I'm think that's going to be my first decent camera. But I'm still not sure on the A6000 or a full body DSLR in the same price range.
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the aperture with a cheap lens extender on (no electronics)? Whenever I put the extender on, it defaults to 0 and I can't change it from the camera
So something like this (http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/product-accessories/ef-lens-accessories/other-lens-accessories/extension-tube-ef-25-ii?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=Google_Product_Feed&cm_mmc=GA-_-Camera_&_Optic_Lens_Accessories-_-G_Canon_Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-9434) would work?Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the aperture with a cheap lens extender on (no electronics)?

sadly there is no way. The aperture on canon, nikon, or sony emount lenses are not controllable with out the pins touching the camera. You would need a manual lens or something similar to a metabones adapter.

hwood,Well it was because I wanted a way to control the aperture while using the cheap tube I had, but with the one I linked I could just control it from the camera. But that looks good too, though at this point I might just go for a cheap macro lens like this (http://www.adorama.com/CA5025AFU.html)
i'm not sure why you linked a macro tube.
if you want to control your aperature on a canon lens without an aperatue ring, you can get something like this:

Ugh, omd em10, gx7, or a6000?
I can't choooooose :(
They'd all be good choices, so I'll probably just go for the one that's cheapest, when the time comes.Ugh, omd em10, gx7, or a6000?
I can't choooooose :(
That was my final 3 at one point, too. I went with the a6k because of the features it's packed with plus it's a bit easier to use and technically the better camera.

a6000's comparative lack of lenses does concern me, though.

To be fair, I think it has the most robust set of adapter rings, too. Otoh, I haven't found a situation I don't have or can't get a lens I need. I think the a6k is going to be 600 black friday from best buy, too.

We just bought a a6000 I'll let you know how it handles.
