    Canon 450D or Nikon D3100? - Help my newbie self please.

    I think the advice I was given also has to play a part, get yourself a go of a nikon d3100 and see if it feels ok, your spending relatively large amounts of cash, and so you want to be getting a camera you feel really comfortable using. I was between the D3100 and the EOS 1100D, and plumped for...

    Nikon D3xxx owners thread

    decided its finally time to start using my D3100, which has largely been used as a point and shoot by the wife due to me being insanely busy at work. I was wondering if there are some recommended viewing for youtube, as I really do lack all knowledge, and do find it easier to watch and learn :)

    I kinda see what you are saying, however, adding on a memory card, and a bag, knocks it up to nearly £500 I guess?

    I have absolutely no experience at all. TBH, subject matter will be ranging from family day trips to the beach, scenery, to motor racing and air shows. I have a decent PC, and will be able to edit if required, though will also need advice on software (though this I should be able to aquire...

    I have a budget of about £400, but this has to get everything I need. What would be peoples recommendations? I have looked at both the 1100D and the D3100 and could see myself using both happily. Please spend my £400 wisely ;)
