[QUOTE="Chris1983, post: 186946, member: 16103"] Hello all. I was going to say "Longtime listener, first time caller", but I guess that's the wrong medium. ;) I'm about to purchase my first DSLR (trying to decide between D3100 & D3200) and am quite excited about it. I currently just have a VERY simple FujiFilm point and shoot. My wife and I finally realized that between Grandchildren and wanting to explore photography as a hobby, it was time to move up. We don't have a huge budget ($400-$550 USD), but I know whatever we get will be a blast and light years beyond what we have now. I can pick up the D3100 with the 18-55 VR lens for approximately $415.00; the D3200 with the same lens is approximately $485.00. Being totally new to DSLR, I really don't what my "needs" are or will be. As noted, we'd like to get into the "hobby" aspect of photography as time goes, but for now it will be basic shots: grandkids around the house and yard and also some nature shots. I would probably utilize the HD movie aspect as well. Anyway, I'm excited to take the "plunge" and welcome any and all comments and advice. [/QUOTE]
