Which DSLR Bundle?

be aware that these are grey imports so warranty is with supplier and not Nikon.
Most of the accessories will be poor quality and of little use.

My advice would be to look elsewhere or lose the extras that are of little use.

Buying grey wouldnt really bother me but just making you aware.

SLRhut have a very bad reputation for customer service from what I've read.
Have you looked at 2nd hand? the MM and Talkphotography forums are great places to find bargains, as is avforums.
 
Brilliant advice, thank you. I want to take large print quality (A3 or A2 sizes roughly) images mainly of individual people either close up doing detailed work like sketching drawing etc or playing field sports. I want the camera to have the flexibility to easily take good quality shots in varying light. It will all be candid stuff with little to no time to set up, and I am by no means a master photographer so I want highest quality possible images with least hassle. good/easy depth of field is going to play a big part too because the backgrounds of the shots will be rubbish.
 
budget is flexible but don't want to waste money. if the 7100 has features that are going to be useful to my application or substantially better images in low light, then its worth spending the money but not fussed about future proofing or 'room to grow'.
 
I grabbed a D5300 with 18-55mm Kit Lens from a eBay deal for £385 brand new, 12 Months warranty (with the seller but their feedback was roughly 160000 so will take me chances).

The 55-300mm Lens doesn't get the best reviews so I would buy a standard bundle and maybe grab a second hand 70-300mm Nikon Lens which has much, much better reviews.
 
Sony A58 or A77.

Not because the camera is better than a Nikon or Cannon. But because the anti shake is on the body rather than the lens. And the sony has the old minolta "A mount".

What that means is you can buy lenses from the early 1980's through to current, with auto focus and anti shake because it's on the camera. So you can get very good lenses for very little. Like the Minolta 50mm F1.7 prime. And the 28mm F2.8 prime.

There are hundreds of sony and minolta "A mount" lenses on ebay.

You also have Dyxum. A forum with a listing of just about every lens ever made on the minolta mount and reviews of the lenses by users.
