At the moment I'm moving from a 8-10 year old compact 12mp Panasonic lumix 7. To a 12mp galaxy s7 phone to a 24mp nikon, even though some of the controls are hidden within the menus I've got much more control than I've ever had, I remember making a ND filter of an IR filter out of a milk bottle lid and an old camera film to increase shutter time on the lumix.

Time to forget about megapixels though, they mean nothing these days

Definitely a learning curve, I've got a d3300 used a handful of times. A 18-55 kit lens and a 70-300 lens with a carry bag, some uv filters, cpl filter and a fld filter. Also what looks like a telephoto screw on lens (fits on and of lens) and a macro one also. With cleaning kit, aftermarket vividar flash and spare battery.
Looking to pay £350 for it.

Good choice.

I have a D3300 with a standard 18-55 lens.

Been using for around a year now and I'm very happy with it. Very user friendly and a great entry into the photography world (so I'm told).

I haven't had any problems with the one standard lens either until now when I want to focus on specific fields of photography. So for you to be getting that extra lens too seems like a great deal to me..
