    So iPad 2 or 3....

    Absolute newbie

    Having recently just purchased my first DSLR (not even a week ago), I was in your same position. I was dead set on either a Nikon D3100 or Canon 550D. I had read on here not to disregard other brands and handle them all but I was certain I was going to come out with one of those cameras...
