photography camera for college student ?

[rglaredo]

My nephew wants to go into photography this summer and asked me for advice. I really don't know nothing about good photo newbie cameras. Anyone has an idea what is a good package? I'm talking about taking a class at a college level.

I seen some packages at best buy but they range from 500 to 700 ....and I relly dont know what to look for in a camera ...any ideas ..?

Start out with a basic DSLR camera. Later you can always add lenses based on the needs. I suggest Nikon DSLR with a wide angle zoom lens for general photography.

Here is a good system, camera plus lens: http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767600-REG/Nikon_D3100_Digital_SLR_Camera.html

Please be aware that in some cases prices for cameras are prices for BODY only; the lens is extra.

And, stay away from the 'grey market' products.
