1st dslr advice request

Post by judgejefferys »

evening everyone
After 40 years of attending airshows I have finally got the greenlight to purchase my first dslr.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on purchasing the best camera + lens for airshows with a budget of around £700. After looking at so many on the internet, I've come up with a NIKON D7100 DSLR + 18-55mm VR + 55-300mm VR LENS . Is this a good choice for airshows or will I get a far better camera or lens for a couple of hundred more? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards steve

sounds pretty good to me, but if you just want to test the water first and start by buying second hand, then you could get a decent outfit together by using these sites.

I have used both for buying gear, and have had no problems........... :biggrin:
