look up the pentax lineup if you're in for some affordable weather-sealing. Otherwise, yeah, whatever's fine for your first camera anyway

As a first camera, and with your budget, that one is a decent choice.

Yes it still rather good, check dxomark.

Picked up one for my mum in a 2nd hand camera shop in Tokyo for about $230-$250 with lens and SD card.

Have you seen any used K-50 or K-S2 with the kit lens?
Definitely nowhere near the $1000 mark you stated.

How new are you to photography, because you might wanna get a cheap film camera.

Shooting film can be really good for beginners because after wasting your money on developing shit pictures you will start thinking more and more about what you are taking pictures off.

And buying a film camera can help you decide which camera you want to buy later on.

Im saying this because it is far to easy to spend your money on a camera that you might not even like, take it from me i bought a mirrorless as my first camera once.

The D3200 is grand for starting off but, like most beginner cameras, it's a bit limited and you'll feel the need to move on from it sooner. I'd recommend a little spending more on a D5400 or D5500 as you'll get longer use out of it.

To be honest, I feel like I need a better lens more than a better body. But I'd definitely welcome exposure bracketing, that thing must be hella helpful.

Nope. Anon said 'almost'.

Does the Nikon have a phone mode? No? Thought so.
Can it play Music, download apps or even browse the web?Nope.
Can it take 4K videos with autofocus enabled? No? Aww.

A better lens on an entry body will always give better results than a shit lens on a good body. Buy good (not always necessarily expensive though) glass, it's worth the investment.

Rokinon/Samyang/Bower come to mind, they are MF, but not old and perform brilliantly for the relatively low cost. Also secondhand cheaper pro lenses. Lenses are generally okay secondhand unless they have issues with focus or fungi.

>paying for overpriced glass

If you want a 70-200mm save up and buy a 2.8 like everyone else.

People buy they because they are FASTER and BOKEH.

Yes, because all the landscape people who by good 70-200m lenses need that wide aperture and something that's weighs more than an f/2.8

The kit lens is often sharper than the L lens at f8, for example. If you get better results, use that tool. The L means nothing when something else is out-performing it.

Would I use the kit lens for most things? fuck no. But if I had time to plan some aspects, and another lens gives better results for that project, I'm leaving the L glass behind -- which, of course, would not be most of the time.

I use a 70-200 quite regularly for landscapes. As does.. say, Thomas Heaton for example. (And the f/4 version, at that. Nobody wants to lug around the extra weight of a 2.8 when it's entirely pointless for what you're doing)

the k2 is for weeaboos. the k50 is for amerifats.

the best IQ are from the k5 line. a used k5-ii or k5-iis.

i've heard the new k70 has a fantastic sensor and the dxo marks are way up there. haven't used one myself so can't comment as to actual performance.

There's more to capturing good landscapes than throwing on an ultra-wide lens, setting it to the widest zoom possible and camping out at the beach or cliff side at sunset with an ND filter. Zoom lenses offer up possibilities for perspective and composition that others can't.
