New DSLR suggestions?

[BobIsGaming]

I want a DSLR and I've been looking around and kind of been doing some homework. So far I found the Nikon D5200 and the Pentax K-50. The other day the D5300 was on sale for $550 for just the body. I would throw in some boundaries like maybe under $800 including lens, like a basic 18-55 lens works <3

Sounds like you know what you're doing already. That's a great price for the D5200, and the K-50 is a great camera at a similar price. I'm a fan of the Pentax myself, the weather sealed body and kit lens are great and since it has in-body image stabilisation you can use older ebay lenses for some cheap fun. You can also get the K-50 18-135mm WR camera kit for around $800 if you want the body and a good all-round lens http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-Digital-Camera-18-135mm-f3-5-5-6/dp/B00DBPK99S/

 

Not sure there's much else to add since you mentioned some good choices

Ok thanks, I'm going to wait for a bit to see if I can find a D5300 cheap again but if not than K-50 for sure, thanks

I personally have the D5300 and I think it's a great camera. I got it in the kit with an 18-140mm and a 55-300mm lens. Awesome kit that I could highly recommend!
