[QUOTE="Lakeside Annie, post: 152040, member: 14240"] I have the D3100 as my first DSLR. I consider it my "starter" camera (as far as DSLR's go.) That being said, I got mine about 2.5 years ago when it was a relatively new model. There have been a couple others that have come out since then. You can do as the others above me have said and also look at the D5100. You can check out my Flickr page to see the types of shots I can get with my D3100. landscape pics... oh yeah. nature... yup! family functions... of course* holidays... absolutely* * if your photos are going to be shot indoors, or with low light, you'll also want to consider a faster lens than the kit lens. I personally don't care for the look of shots using the camera's built in flash, so I tend to try my best to (indoors) really open up the aperture, bump up the iso, and get the best shot I can without flash. This works much better with a faster lens and for that reason, my Nikkor 50mm f1.8G is typically the lens that stays on my camera indoors. [/QUOTE]
