[QUOTE="gav329, post: 57237, member: 8177"] I bought a D200 as my first Nikon DSLR it's a very advanced camera for me to be honest but it had 1390 clicks, was second hand in a good camera shop and 2/3rd's of the price of a new 3100 which I also looked at. Yes the 3100 would have been instantly easier to use and maybe easier to get that satisfying feeling when you take a good picture. But I figured for the money I'd just get the D200 and learn more about it. In thd long run I'll not need to change the camera probably ever so maybe one day I'll master it. The set up is so important too because some of my photos to be honest were as good as my (sorry) Canon ixus 5mp point and shoot but the D200 is a semi pro camera and now I've set it up I'm getting better pics.
