Re: Nikon D3200 DSLR advise
Can somebody de-code what this means and what the lens would be useful for (considering only have the 18-55 kits lens for it) and if £100 is a decent price for it,
AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED
Looking on-line here https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9919/~/glossary-of-nikkor-lens-terms
AF-S is Auto-Focus Silent
DX - Designed for DSLR
VR - Vibration Reduction
IF - Internal Focus
ED - Extra-Low Dispersion glass

Re: Nikon D3200 DSLR advise
this it the lens that's the next set up and one you will use the most out of the 18-55 or the 55-200
its worth the money and the going price is about £100 . plenty on ebay go for about 70 ish and can be had as part of the kit I posted
for £399

Re: Nikon D3200 DSLR advise
New, that lens is £240+ provided it's the IF-ED version. There is a very similarly named lens without VR or IF for half the price.

I've the exact lens on fleabay for around £90 so I might try and knock him down a bit. It was part of a package that currys were doing with DX3100 and there are quite a few on fleabay.

I got the same kits still getting my head round it, but so far very impressed with it, just ordered a bag to keep in tidy.

Or two I was the same when I got mine, I don't know how many snaps of my Sly+ box I've deleted lol!
One thing I did forget to mention; it's much easier to rent Nikon and Canon lenses than it is the less popular marques.
Lens rental is ideal where you're going away for the weekend, have a specific shot in mind that you know you can't get with your current kit, or just want to try-before-you-buy over a couple of days.

very good mate .can go a couple a weeks without charging depending much I use . I would say easy 1000 pics
been having a look about on ebay and you can get an side grip battery pack which takes 2 battery's for around £20 which looks OK
LOOK HERE
just did a day in london with the camera. Nearly 400 photos. Camera on most of the day. Lots of flash use. Mainly using screen as view finder. Still had some charge left from a fully charged battery.
Forgot to add that my mrs took the 55-200mm lens as well as the kit lens. Took a wide variety of photos from close in wildlife at Regent park to portrait stuff with kids to general scenic and zoom shots from river cruise. I'll that to say the kit lens covered 90% of the shots as long as you are happy doing a bit of post-production.
Displaying RAW images on a HD TV, you can easily zoom in to 3x without losing any quality so unless you are planning on printing poster sized photos, you can get away without a massive zoom lens.
From early morning at Tower Hill (amazing poppy display) to sunset at the London eye. Left the camera on automatic aperture mode most of the day and using the little -/+ control for fine control. Let the camera deal with everything else and generally every photo was spot on.
