[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 98954, member: 12198"] I'm still pretty new and learning (slowly) how to use SLR rather than my old advanced point and shoot. I still find myself using the auto function on my A230 far more than I'd like but quite often I grab my camera and take pics so often don't get a chance to set up a shot (frustrating on my A230 since every button has about 3 functions depending on the button I hit previously) So I'm looking to grow but still need a camera that isn't too much for this newbie. I don't have a huge budget but thought I could do the 35mm with the 70-300mm and the 5100 body. I looked into the kits but I'm thinking I should save money and just pick lenses that will suit my needs and allows to me to add later as I grow and learn. I also looked at the 50mm but with a family of 5 and a small house I think it'd be tricky fitting us all in :) [/QUOTE]
