Digital SLR help

Nice choice. The D3100 would be my choice too being a complete noob when it comes to DSLR's. I nearly bought one too then realised I can't really take it everywhere with me and my history of actually bothering to take pictures is poor.
Did a lot of research too and the D3100 seemed to be the best choice (although Canon have some nice ones too but slightly more expensive. Jessops were doing a particulary good deal on it. £469 but you get £40 back from Nikon at the minute so £429.

Hope you enjoy your new camera.

The 500 D is a very good camrea as well and now superseeded by the 550 and worth considering if the extra outlay for the features is worth it over the 500. I did this and in all honesty, the 500 will do everything you need.

Yeah thats the deal i have seen, Amazon have the same one also, but they have slightly better price on the perfs that i want to get with it as well, SD card, remote, Tripod etc - i was shocked that Amazon were cheaper for camera stuff than one of if not the biggest camera shop in the uk!! but thats the way of modern shopping i suppose!!

www.camerabox.co.uk are by far the cheapest and best for online camera stuff. i have bough my last 2 cameras form them. Jessops are silly priced.

V, when I was looking into getting my D5000, Jessops was cheaper than camerabox!

Ok Ok, once in a while. But when i got my 500D with all the stuff (xtra lens, battery, case, mem card) it was £400 cheaper than Jessops!

I got a bundle from jessops, D5000 camera body, 18-55 VR and cant remember what the other one is, SD card, back and t'was cheaper. You just need to shop around a bit.

I have the added advantage of annoying Anna for advice, who in turn annoys Filipe for me...!

And now, as Jambo will undoubtedly say, you too smell of wee.
