WHICH D-SLR

Afternoon

Let me just start by saying I am a complete newb, never had a camera apart from the one on the phone.

With baby on the way I want a decent DSLR to take pictures with and was looking at the options. Willing to spend up to £400

Nikon D3100
http://direct.asda.com/Nikon-D3100-...nd-8GB-SDHC---Black/000597701,default,pd.html
currently on 10% off promo
(sorry if I can't use asda for links)

Nikon D3200
Both currently running a cashback promotion

Read a lot of reviews but cant really make up my mind. Any SLR pro's here, can you point me in the right direction or suggest something else? Cheers

You won't go far wrong with one of those, although I would factor in the price of a decent bounce/swivel flash if it's for baby pictures.

Check out www.camerapricebuster.co.uk the D3100 is showing at £305 the cheapest at the rainforsest, watch for possible grey imports with them. Jessops are next best at £309, you can also compare prices with other models.

Just got a D3100 with 18-55 and 35mm f/1.8G lens plus bag and other bits and pieces for what i see as a good price second hand to start doing abit of photography.

Why not look at the auction site and see if you can pick up a good used kit, a lot of value for money!

Link that I shared is basically brand new d3100 with a bag, 8gig card, tripod. After using promotional code of 10% it came down to 281 inc delivery + I will claim extra £30 from Nikon's website

I think you've got somewhere between a few and several hundred dollars to spend on a camera and you want to learn a little bit about how this stuff works, so you can tweak some settings to get better shots, but mostly you just want your pictures to look good.
