[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 310229, member: 9252"] It can be to start with, I think you first camera is the hardest to decide on. That's why I was a bit taken aback when you said you were buying today! Personally, I'd approach it from a budget direction:- If it takes a long time to save and build up available funds, then I'd go for "Less camera, more lens" and sway towards the D3100 and maybe a 55-300mm zoom (Wildlife), or either the 35 or 50mm (Around town and portrait type stuff) primes. If you can save a bit fairly easily, and maybe afford a lens etc. a couple of months or so after buying the camera, then I'd go with the D3300 - As you will still be learning the basics of the camera and general photography, so in that time you wouldn't "Miss" not having that extra lens. You will also have more idea what kind of photography you want to do, and make a more informed decision on the next lens. [/QUOTE]
