I’m turning 13 and for my birthday i really want a camera. I am responsible. I have had a Kodak for a couple of years ago and i have my own laptop that i got last year for my birthday. Now, i want the Nikon D40. Should i get it and try it? It’s $500.00 and my mom is willing to pay for it and i have a twin sister and she wants the ipod touch. I also use my mom’s Casio and i take beautiful pictures especially of my dog and flowers. Any suggestions? Should a 13 year old have a DSLR and what kind of accessories would be helpful?
One thing, times are tough with money so the cheaper the better, i am into photography and looking into an entry level DSLR because of my budget. I am going to see how much money i will get for my birthday and then hopefully i will be able to afford the Nikon D40.
Thank you so much RJS1121! Over time i will be able to save up for more lenses but on my birthday for now i will probably just be able to afford the camera that comes with the lens. I can’t order off Amazon but the Nikon D40 is in stock at Best Buy in my area and Walmart too. Both stores are $500.00 for the D40. Thanks so much for all of your answers!
