I currently own a D3200 and I’m wanting to upgrade, but I want to stay with a Nikon crop sensor camera. Which camera do you recommend?

Hi.. I have heard that for online posting purposes, there is no difference in image quality of crop sensor camera vs ful frame cameras.. one shouldn't waste money on ful frame.. rather buy lenses.. what's your opinion.. is ful frame camera really that different quality vs crop ?

Good day! I'm torn between Sony a6000 and Nikon D5300. What can you suggest? I will be just starting photography without any experience before. Mostly, I'm gonna use it for concerts/videos and some photography.

No one wants a camera that can capture pictures of long ranges i.e from earth to the moon, but nowardays everyone wants is a clear picture without a single blury in it even the picture or the video is in constant movements

Hey Paul, I'm a beginner & willing to make Videos - especially simple, decent Indie short films with DSLR. From your list of top 5 DSLRs Canon 200D & 80D seems to be good options for Videography. However Canon 200D with 18-55 + 55-250 mm lens Vs Canon 80D with 18-135 lens price difference is almost double.
Request you to advice -
1. Will Canon 200D will be good choice especially for Videos / indoor & outdoor low budget short films shooting ?
2. Since your video is of Jan'2018, is there any other latest DSLR model option available with near about same price range of 200D with value additional features for Videography.
3. Which lens sizes are recommended for frequent use with 200D or any other latest model which you may suggest for Videography. (With 200D kit 18-55, 55-250 is offered. Additionally 24 mm block lens can be a good combination ?)
4. Any other suggestions for Kit / accessories for video, audio etc.

They say "Well begun is half done"
