Looking to buy an DSLR.

Hi,

Im looking at getting entry level SLR namely the Nikon d3200.

A friend has one and recommends it, Is this a good deal

£400 with the £30 cashback. Do they normally come with a memory card at all?

Aside from a tripod and case is there anything else you would recommend?

Hope you can help,
Sean

I just got a Nikon D3200 and it came with the newer VRII 18-55mm kit lens (the one that collapses). Pleasant surprise.

Where did you get it from? I have seen that on amazon for £340 (£7 more than the VR1)

Pictures will be dogs, mountain bikes, nature, and just general messing about with long exposures and such.

I got the same one with the VRii lense and also the Tamaron 70-300 from Jessops for £399 with the £30 cash back.

So far i've been really pleased with it, though i will eventually change the 70-300 for one with VR built in.

Some taken on Friday which was pretty cloudy.

I ordered yesterday in the end. Went for the d3200 with vr2 lens at £310 (£30 cashback) Got a 32gb sd and carry bag. You pictures require approval to be able to see. I just need a tripod now right?

Try that link, Enjoy it as it's a great little camera, i also watched a few youtube videos from people like Jared Polin AKA Froknowsphoto who did quite a good guide on the D3200.

Wow they all look great! Ill check them vids out asap. Is that a free service form google like the google music service?
