[QUOTE="Papa Roe, post: 52431, member: 9339"] My lovely wife bought me a d5100 for Christmas. We have 9 grandchildren (one of the main reasons for the camera). I am interested in sports cars and attend races at Virginia International Raceway (VIR), whenever possible (2 reason for the camrea). I have been reading the manual, and watching the dvd that came with the camera, and playing around a little--realizing that this is a great camera. [I need to take some photography classes to understand how to use it.] My problem is: 1) I live in the sticks and have not found any local classes. 2) I have a very demanding schedule and sometimes my camera sits in the bag for weeks at a time. I did purchase a decent set of filters, and the remote control for taking family pictures without the self timer. I'm torn between a decent flash, a prime lens for family pics, and a decent 300 zoom lens. Hmmmmmmmmmmm now all I need is money. [/QUOTE]
