Picked Up Nikon 5100 with 18-55mm lens...

... £350 notes and for the wife for xmas... also picked up 5100 for dummies for the missus as well... extra high powered battery, blah blah, few bits and bobs. Hoping she'll get back into it now... she's been out the SLR loop for a long time 15 years... so hopefully this'll spark her interest again.

Seems to be a popular choice at the moment... fingers crossed the missus will like it. Anyone care to comment how big the RAW files are on top res or any handy tips, be sure to let me know.

I'm getting one for Christmas, also with the kit lens. I think I'll get a 70-300 as well shortly after. Can't wait looks great!

As for your question, as far as I'm aware, 1megapixel = 1megabyte, so if you are taking max res that would be 16.2megapixels so 16.2mb. Someone else will have to confirm this though.

Where'd you get yours from matey? I went SLRhut in the end, just came today from the states...
