@bold: Thought as much. Was wondering why you haven't replied.



Well, I 'll be doing the two:
Videography (Documentary/Event): 60%
Photography (Nature/Street): 40%


D5300 has flip-out screen too.


I 'll prolly get a mirror-less Cam for Video after this.. but for now, I want to invest in a Cam that 'ld serve me for the two.

I just don't know how effective D5300 auto-focus is.. most especially in low-light and when shooting moving objects.

I tried separating the my verdict but I SAS banned again by anti spambot ABC now I can't even remember where I stopped. The focus on the D5300 is good for a Crop Frame DSLR and better in low light than the Canon 70D. As for focus your lens will also be an influencing factor even as its autofocus system is good enough. You can get good focusing manually or use continuous lighting which will help alot. It won't take you much to figure out how easy it is if you get used to it I believe. I hope I don't get banned for this again.

Quality Tutorials, Camera, Prime Lens or Prime Zooms, Solid Tripod, Studio Strobe Light, Soft boxes or Umbrella, Light Reflectors, Studio Background Props. These are the Basic Studio Setup you need..
As for Tutorials, I have torrent files I can share with you teaching the Fundamentals or Photography. I bought the tutorials but I can share it with you or better still check creativelive dot com. Download and watch them. Even before buying your camera you can watch them and learn a great deal and when you get all your gears you won't be having much problems. Buying tutorials or watching is the first step.

For Cameras, Professional Full-Frame or Beginner Or Enthusiasts APS-C OR CROP FRAME. I'll advise you start out with Crop Frame. They're cheaper affordable and yet give quality images and if you have extra booze you can go FULL-FRAME at once. Tutorials would direct you better.

For lenses, try not to buy the default lenses that comes with you camera. Lenses that are in this format arec great
50mm F/1.2, 50mm F/1.4, 50mm F/1.8, 35mm with anything not more than F/2.8 will be ok even if it's a Zoom lens of like 70-200mm F2.8. Your camera is just as important as your lens.
As for Tripod buy good quality ones. The one made of carbon fiber are lighter and durable.

For Strobe Light, Soft boxes and umbrella and Reflector, go for the famous brand "Godox" they re inexpensive and good.

In the next comment, I'll suggest the equipments you can go for
