[QUOTE="bumpyroad, post: 262511, member: 7610"] I have the Nikon D5100 with a 8-16 sigma zoom, and 18-270 Tamron Zoom for it. I would recommend it over the 3100 for the little price difference if you do want a DSLR. it is basically a professional camera in an advanced amateur body, not titanium, etc. Sam's/Costco sells the 5100 kit with two zoom lenses for about $760 IIRC. However I would NOT buy any DSLR now myself. I would buy the new thing, an ILC, check out the Nex C3,5N, or 7 which are mirrorless cameras with the same size sensor APS-C but is about half the size and weight of a mirrored one. I just bought a C3 and am waiting to order a 7 after my latest box of "old" equipment reaches B&H and I get my check back. :) you can get Nikon to Nex adapters and use your old nikon lenses on the nex, obviously not autofocus then however, so old "obsolete" Nikon lenses can be picked up cheaply to be used on them. bumpy [/QUOTE]
