[QUOTE="YPNick, post: 92712, member: 11844"] My wife and I are planning on upgrading from our point and shoot and after reading plenty of different sites and recommendations have settled on the D3100 (it fits our price range and also seems to be the most "user friendly" of the "entry level" dslr's). My question is we can get a kit from sams club that includes the 18mm-55mm lens and the 55mm-200mm lens for $648 out the door (it also includes a bag and SD card). I can get the same camera and lenses used (all rated EX+) through KEH for $528.88 (I imagine I can add a bag and SD card for $40?) putting me at $568.ish. Am I better off getting the new kit or going with used items and saving $80 or so dollars. The other option would be to go through KEH and instead of getting the 55mm-200mm lens get a Bargain 70mm-300mm putting me at $482 before adding a bag a nd SD card). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
