I'm going to be sticking my compact camera in the bag anyway. It doesn't take up much room, so it's worth throwing in the bag.Amy wrote:Looks pretty good so far acp. I would suggest taking your old camera with you as well. Never hurts to have a back-up!
I'll likely leave the DSLR in the hotel if it rains and take the older one, for example.
I spent a good amount of time last night playing with it and learning what does what on it. I think some of it may have sunk in, too .Len90 wrote:acp: I've heard a lot of good about the D3200, but never touched it being a loyal Canon person. As I recommended to Epcotmaniac, you should think about getting an additional lens to supplement the 18-55.
Yeah, it's on the list for when budget will allow. A friend (who's much more knowledgeable about these things than I currently am) suggested looking at getting a 50mm lens (such as this one). Probably not likely to happen for before the trip, though.
Having said that, I've added to my list to have a look at camera/lens shops around Tokyo. My research suggested that although the camera itself wasn't cheaper to buy over there, some accessories might be. Not certain if that applies to lenses, though. I'll have a look and see.
