I’m going into college soon and I need a dslr for my photography major. I will be using the camera for fine art photography, nature, and fashion photography. Also I have a budget up to $700 and i’m open to nikon, sony, pentax…

Having a flexible kit including lenses important when your focus is on creativity and learning. So it’s worth buying older models of things and off-brand stuff. The quality you lose is out-weighed by the flexibility you gain, and your creativity and personality will have a chance to take the stage.

See if you can get a fairly comprehensive and flexible kit like the following:

Pentax K100D Super
Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 Macro DC for Pentax
Pentax 50mm A/1.7
Sigma 50-200mm DC for Pentax

You may also want to consider an external flash instead of the last two lenses.

Go to www.pentaxforums.com and check out the Marketplace. You might be able to pickup a complete kit all in one go. You might also find some good deals at www.keh.com.
