Takeda,
What's your opinion of the Nikon D3200? I pulled the trigger on it at Best Buy about two months ago (2-lens package 18-55 and 55-200) and have been very happy with it, but I've heard that it was lower-end of the DSLRs. I would like to start doing portraits some weekends as a supplemental income and I've got a photog friend who will sell me his 50/1.8 (he said it'll become a 75 on my rig). Just wanted your thoughts, thanks.

Even though the D3200 is Nikon's entry level DSLR, it's a good camera. The 18-55mm lens is a good all purpose lens, but the 55 200mm lens can be soft. Your friend told you the truth, with the DX image sensor (which your D3200 has) you get a focal length 1.5X multiplication factor. Make sure the 50mm f/1.8 lens he wants to sell you is the AF-S version, and not the AF-D version. The AF-D requires an AF motor in the body of the camera, which your D3200 doesn't have. Let me know if you have any other questions.
