Canon t5i, Nikon D5300, or Pentax K50?


Upon researching brands and models for a beginner dslr. I came up with Canon t5i, Nikon D5300, and Pentax K50. I need help deciding which one to get. Out of the three, I'm leaning towards Pentax cause its cheaper and weather-proof but it only has 16 MP. Does MP even matter in dslr?

My second choice is the Canon t5i is the fully articulated display, has 2 more MP than Pentax and Canon is a trusted brand.

As for what I'm going to use it for:
Mainly pictures of landscapes, portraits, etc. Not really into videos yet.

So please help me make a decision.

Fast shooting lens for Nikon D7200?


Hi I'm upgrading from a D5100 to a D7200, I've been photographing for about 5 years. I would say my experience is intermediate, although I don't know a whole lot about lenses. I really only take photos of trains, this requires a lot out of a lens. I've been using the Nikkor 18-140mm lens for a few years now and I notice it doesn't focus as fast as I need it too. The way I usually shoot trains going by is I zoom in to around 50mm or so and as the train comes closer I zoom out with the train keeping it in the frame till it passes. This requires me to constanly keep pressing the shutter to "re-focus" the lens so it can keep the train in focus as I zoom out wider as it comes closer. With the current setup I have now (D5100+that lens) when I'm doing that sometime it just does not focus in time and I miss the shot. I've missed many of nice shots because of this. Among other upgrades the one I want most with the D7200 when i get it in a few weeks is quicker focusing. Will this be greatly improved with the D7200? Or is it the lens? Advice? Thank you.

Which is better for point and shoot, Nikon or Canon?

Particularly, I am looking at Canon PowerShot SX260 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom and Nikon S8200 16.1MP Digital Camera with 14x Optical Zoom. The Nikon is cheaper (by $30), and it has a better MP; Canon has more zoom capabilities. I am not sure if zoom or mp is better when choosing a point and shoot, or which brand is better for this type of camera. What I want to do with the camera is take pictures when traveling (mainly) in addition to pictures of people. Thank you!
