Advice needed on a new purchase

Rhodan · 7 Jan 2013 at 05:27

I am wanting to buy my first DSLR after owning a couple of point and shoot cameras over the years.

I will be using it for family holidays, so that means taking some video as well, and also for wildlife photography, so I need a lens that can zoom, and lastly for taking photo's of cities when I'm traveling with my wife, so a wide angle lens I guess?

I was looking at the Canon 650D.

Any other recommendations for similar model Nikon / Sony cameras?

What lenses would you recommend?

What I am thinking about is buying high quality lenses which I plan to keep for a long time, and just change the body when needed. Canon seems to be the best for this?

What type of lens and which specs would you recommend?

If I was to up my budget and look at a Canon 6D or Nikon D600, what do you guys think of those?

If I was to buy a Canon 650D, I believe the lenses would not work on a FF body?

With Nikon, if I bought the D5200 for example, the lenses would work on a D600? Is this correct?
