#79009 Upgrades

Posted by Sqwuidy on 05 June 2022 - 08:57 PM

Hello there!

I go by sqwuidy and I’ve been in photography on and off for the last three years. And I am really wanting to go from a beginner into an enthusiast. I currently have a D5200 and some cheap prime lenses (50mm & 85mm) that I use for any shots. I’ve been told that for upgrades it’d be best to upgrade lenses first and then then the camera body, but I just wanted to hear what Nikon users suggest.

Currently I am looking at:

Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Nikon F As the lens that I would hopefully upgrade to because it would allow me to do most things with a single lens. Most of shots are local festivals, poorly shot portraits, scenery, and then random shots for fun.

I was looking at upgrading to a D750 because that would be right about the same budget as the brand new lens. I know it’s a huge jump in quality from the d5200. And it would probably take me some more time to learn it.

But just curious as to which upgrade would be most beneficial if I want to get more serious about photography.
