Over my budget for this month as the Mrs will shoot me if i spend another penny.

I will grab the 35mm 1.8g next month

I managed to pick up the D7100 body for £853.99 inc VAT so not bad deal.

I would def say get a prime lens like 50mm 1.8g or like most advise 35mm 1.8g.

My Tamron 70-300mm VC came 3 days prior to my Nikon 50mm 1.8G and when i swapped it over to the 50mm i was just amazed at the quality and that was with my D3200!

Can't wait for the D7100 to arrive that will show some more improvements in picture quality and performance.

I went for the Tamron 70-300 VC lens, pretty good.

oh my oh my the D7100 arrived this morning and while i was thrown back a little by different menus and extra dials ect ect the picture quality really does come out better than the D3200 and speed of the D7100 is v good and i like the fact i can change ISO in smaller increments.
So much more control and well worth the extra cash.
