i just checked out nikon D3100, omg i was shocked to the quality of the camera... it is made in thailand, the cover for SD memory card is so loose it feels out of place shaky, the zoom was terrible and the salesman wasnt helping... he kept recommending panasonic lumix (a non dslr but it can zoom really really far and the quality is excellent for video and shooting)... wtf... i'm totally disappointed

the lens that come with it 18-55 is really sucks, cant zoom further than a digital cam >.< when the lens rotate out, it was so short like a small 2 inch lil bro -.-

furthermore, the rotate button to live view and viewfinder view is totally unresponsive, either that or the system is so slow to change mode...

yes, and also the demo unit might have been abused to the extend that the modes take longer time to switch and the cover for memory card is out of place (like a proton car quality)

be my guest n try 1000D  whistling.gif

anyway, jokes aside, 55-300 shud cost around rm1k
its possible to get it a bit lesser than 1k
can consider 55-200 too, shorter focal length, but AF faster than 55-300 in low light

if i'm getting the 55-300mm then it would be manual focus... the only delay for this lens is when auto mode only right?
