Just a pic of my cat

Thing i didnt like about my minolta 50mm 1.7 was the noisy screw driven af for street i would want something quieter.

Number 2's awwsome hes like dad not the camera again!!!

I would look at getting a bounce flash as well then if your struggling with low light, you can still shoot at low f stops for the bokeh but the extra light lets you shoot at low iso's too, best thing I ever did was buying a bounce flash for indoor photography. Taken with 35mm 1.8 and bounce flash.

Good advice so far, whats your budget? For kids indoors i find prime lenses too restrickting one second there in frame next there too close etc at least with a zoom you can zoom in and out at will to follow them around the room. Look at tamron,sigma and nikon all do great fast zooms just depends...

Thanks guys, he was actually happily playing the tears are from the cold wind. Will have a play with the vignette settings see if can get a better look.

Ohhhh Betty....:p

First go at shooting into the sun.

Are you happy with your current lenses?

D7100 isnt full frame. Personally i would sell your current camera and either get a secondhand d7000 or a grey d7100 for the better ergonomics better build etc but you will lose the flippy screen. Or go the whole hogg and get a ff d610 but you will need new lenses as well.

18-55 kit lens 35mm 1.8 16-50 2.8 50mm 1.7 I dont want to sound rude but OP do you know how to use your camera properly? I use a sony a57 and i get some seriously good images out of it, i have the kit lens, a 50mm 1.7,a 35mm 1.8 and a 16-50 2.8 they are all fine for capturing my 2 year old.

I would go and hold these cameras first before buying, my friend has a d3200 and the ergonomics are horrible.

As others have said you can turn a 35mm into a 50mm by taking 2 steps forward its pointless having both, either go for a 85mm 1.8 or if you want a 50mm get a tamron 17-50 2.8 its a great walkabout lens and can do portraits too, I found 35mm not wide enough for street on a crop camera.
