Thank you for putting yourself in her shoes. I think many, me included, started to think what is best for us, forgetting what it is like to be that age and size. I agree also, simple equals fun at the early stages, complicated could end up with her losing confidence.

You can use a mesh without a wired backhaul, it's just that is what allows them to work at their peak. To be honest though, unless you are regularly maxing your band width, I'm sure you would never notice.

I completely agree with everything you said, and I would love to go mirrorless, but it really pushes the budget up beyond what I am able to afford. Also, my daughter, even though a young teen, loves older stuff, particularly 60 and 70s styles, and she loves the feel and aesthetic of DSLRs.

I had an Asus zen wifi mesh for a while and it worked really well. Much preferred it to an extender, especially if you have a hardwire backhaul.

Quick question, which of the kit Les would be preferable do you think, the 18-55mm or the 18-200 (I think they are the options). Or would it be better to go body only and get a better lens. Use cases will be landscapes and portraits.

Thanks. I know she will.want to use it for videos too as she does acting (no, not til tok - musical theatre) so I am seeing if I can budget for a d5600. The tilting screen would be a massive boon, and I trust she will use it well considering how much she uses her phone camera to do actual...

I think 3rd person on a personal site sounds pompous.

It's a good monitor and reviews well on tying.com, but this may be better, with contrast and black levels often cited as being really good, which for photos may be useful. (10% off vouchers are available, particularly if you know someone with a .ac.uk email. If not, drop me a message if you...

I think things like budget, portability requirements etc would be useful to know.

My dad offered us a D300 for free which was very nice but it was very heavy and felt very big in my hands. I know if it is a chore to use and carry, it will just be left at home unused. I have found a couple of used camera places near me.so planning a visit in the next week or so for a little...

You guys are terrible. I have been looking on MPB and I am already looking at a d5600, which seems a much better camera, with 28-100 lens, but around double the price.

I will.have a look at both options, but size will definitely be a primary concern. Also, with her being used to using her phone, menu diving shouldn't be too much of an issue.

How is it for 'dusk' work, as that is a time she likes to work with?

I think it is important to remember about dell that their laptop division is separate to their desktop division is separate to their desktop division. Desktop wise they tend to focus on office customs and sell cheap and cheerful. The monitor division has a great rep, although slip a little...

That's my thinking. I have a habit of budget and spec creeping and I am trying to remain aware that we both really know nothing at this stage, and if and when the body becomes a limit, we will be in a much better position to know what we need Ina n upgrade. I have to keep in mind that this is a...
