I’m considering buying my first DSLR camera. I’m a total beginner in photography but I want to learn in order to make my photos during my trips worth it ( in particular, the ones taken while hiking) .
On one hand, I’m ready to invest a little money. I narrowed my choice to the Nikon D5200 with a standard lens ( 18-55mm) , for now. On the other hand, a member of my family proposed to give me its old Nikon D40X with two lenses, a classical 18-55mm one and an other long-focus lens ( I guess something as a 85-105mm but I’m not sure) .
I have some doubts about the D40X ( purchased in 2007) :
