Then you'll also have a better idea of what you want if/when you want to get a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-898204 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:43:13 +0000 mrs. bird 898204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: that's a good point! i could take a class with it now &amp; get used to it. i think i like that plan :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897793 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:02:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 897793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, take it! If you do decide you want something different when you get a LO, you could always give it back to them and let them sell it at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897781 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:58:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 897781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take it now and practice with it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897751 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:50:36 +0000 hilsy85 897751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: ditto adira, I would try to get a prime lens if you can...but really, anything in addition to the kit lens is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897744 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:47:28 +0000 Lindsay05 897744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg!

They keep coming out with new versions, but the lens is really what's important. And a nice camera like that can be EXPENSIVE! I'd say take it!</p> <p>PLUS, if all her cameras are Nikons, you'll be able to borrow her lenses and stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897671 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:15:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 897671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take the camera and upgrade the lens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897670 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:15:12 +0000 hilsy85 897670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's all about the lenses!!! I would definitely take the camera, and then whenever you feel like you need an upgrade, get a better lens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897667 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:14:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 897667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897663 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:12:52 +0000 blackbird 897663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Nikon D7000 is a great camera. You can always use it in automatic. If you want "better" photos of your LO, invest in better lenses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-this-camera#post-897656 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:09:49 +0000 mrs. bird 897656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>last night at dinner my mom mentioned they want to get rid of one of their DSLR cameras. my parents have a camera buying problem. anyway, she said they'll sell it if i don't want it, but that i was welcome to it if i wanted it. i don't know which one they're gonna get rid of, i know one is a nikon D7000 and the other is another nikon but i can't remember the numbers :sad: </p> <p>honestly right now i don't see myself using it very often, but once we have a LO, i'd probably want one, right? how much do these things change? is it something where you'd really want a new one or do you think an older one would be adequate for someone who isn't super intense about photography? i would feel awful taking it from her now, then not using it and wanting to buy a new one later when she could have sold it, but i'd also be kicking myself if i don't take it and then go to buy something in the future that is the same thing i passed on for free. what would you do? take the camera or wait and get whatever is new once i think i'll use it? </p>
