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...

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 :)

Cheers Andy, thats excellent, it gives me a way forward on how I can make things look :) Thanks for doing that, and providing me with the steps you took to get there.

That would be much appreciated :)

In the bigger picture going back is possible and will happen, its local. I havent had a great deal of opportunity to get to grips with the camera/photography really due to work :( but that will improve. To be honest the pics are took in this set were all snatched due to the walk being so I...

I went on a walk with the youngest, and unfortunately, my ability and the sky conspired to mean that my pics were not the best. Is it possible to rescue shots like this in LR, (I am new to all methods of PP) and if so what would I have to do? Many thanks for looking :) DSC_0011.jpg by...

Haha, tbh have quickly realised what a learning curve I have, and I darent take my first pic :)

Ok, took possession of a d3100 today, now to read the manual :)

Thanks guys :)

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 ;)

Hi, Just a quick hello, Im Gary from the NE :) Ive decided to take the plunge and buy a camera that is suitable to use as a hobby, rather than one the wife can just throw in her handbag :) Budget is limited, and knowledge even more so, but some helpful peeps on a computer forum have...
