[QUOTE="AC016, post: 102670, member: 9619"] Just as with many other things, you have to think of what you want to do with the product. What features do you think you will need? As you grow into photography and eventually get hooked into one genre or another, you may find that another body may suit you better. Perhaps you will need more FPS or a better AF system for sports for example. Or perhaps you want to be able to change setting on the fly, like i can do with my D80. In the end, no need to buy a Ferrari unless you just want to show people you have money and want to show off. You can get from point A to B with a Chev or Ford. My suggestion is to buy the body that will enable you to do the photography you want to do and nothing more. Spend your money on the lenses. Many people buy pro cams for the wrong reasons and don't even use them to it's full potential. Many people upgrade to pro bodies from mid-range cameras and there is no difference in the results of their photography. The 3100 will serve you just fine for many years. Invest in the glass and get good at taking photographs. [/QUOTE]
