Comments about Nikon D3100 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera Double Lens Kit:
Having been put off from DSLR in the past due the complicated technique terms and the price, I finally bite the bullet and purchased the D3100 with twin lens kits.
This kit has all you need to get started. I subscribed to the Nikon magazine on my iPad, you can also get it in print, and downloaded the dummy guide to my iPad, both explain in simple terms what the functions are and only a few weeks in i am taking great shots.
I have explored out of the 'AUTO' function, and it isn't as scary as i thought!
I would highly recommend this camera for people new to DSLR as the tutorial function on the camera is great for people starting out, it teaches you the functions and different settings.
Along with the Nikon magazine, online tutorials and youtube, there is loads of advice available.
