Well I'm excited

Just ordered it for my first DSLR camera, just to see how I enjoy joining those in the digital photography world. I know it's not the greatest of the great, but from reviews I've learned it is one of the best entry level DSLR's out there, and I got it in a bundle pack for $750. Quite a bit more than I've ever spent on a camera but I'm exicted about the great pictures I'll be able to take

Now I just have to wait for it's arrival, and since I'm excited about it it'll take forever, lol

Anyways, this is what I got, and I'm trying to decide what my up-grade lense will be once I get a hang of the in-package lenses do.

and the kit I purchased includes:
♦ 1) Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera & AF-S 18-55mm VR Zoom Lens
♦ 2) Nikon AF-S 55-200mm VR Zoom Lens
♦ 3) Transcend 16GB High-Capacity SecureDigital (SDHC) Card

♦ 8) Precision Design Memory Card Storage Wallet
♦ 9) Precision Design Deluxe 6 Piece Lens & Digital SLR Cleaning Kit
♦ 10) Digital Camera LCD Monitor Screen Protectors

Now I just need to order the kindle book on this camera and I'll be good to go, lol

I really want to ask for a good camera like this next year for Christmas. Where did you find this on?

Deuce · 03-01-2011, 06:45 AM

Amazon, that's where I purchased the bundle kit

They have the more advanced DSLR's if you are ready for that next step as well, I think the Nikon D7000 looked great, but the price-tag turned me off.

Erin · 03-01-2011, 02:09 PM

The 3100 is an awesome camera for the price. I'm still learning how to use it, but I love it. Click through to my blog and my Flickr! and you can see some of the pics I've taken lately. I hope you like yours too!

Shelby&Seymour · 03-07-2011, 04:16 PM

Congrats!! Can't wait to see your new pics!! You will LOVE IT!!!
I have the 3000... and even though I am still learning.... I DO love it. Here's a few pics that I am quite proud of...

I'm still waiting for its arrival, but I've been reading the field guide on it and I think I'm ready to go out and start snapping pics as soon as it comes in

Perrella · 03-08-2011, 10:22 AM

I have the D3000, I love it. Still learning here too. You will really love it so much.

Deuce · 03-09-2011, 10:20 AM

Just came in! Woohoo!
Though, it took me about 30 minutes to remember I have to adjust the lens to zoom in

, lol.

Deuce · 03-09-2011, 10:22 AM

And a few more for giggles

I like that you can actually see the taste buds on Fatso's tongue

Wow, you're already getting some great pics. The second one of the kitty's face is really nice!

Shelby&Seymour · 03-09-2011, 02:17 PM

Awesome Pics.... and to think that you just started taking pics!!!!!

Deuce · 03-09-2011, 11:38 PM

Yep, just started and the animals are already tired of it, lol. Next round Rizzo will have his hair in order, I had just got home and was too exicted to put a tk in.
Lucky for me, my cat sits still long enough to take a pic of, and Rizzo can still insert a yorkie blur, lol.
