Hi All
I'm new to Digital SLRs, and I am thinking of buying a Nikon D3100.
And this lens a Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC OS HSM.
I have a budget of £750
Is this OK? and could give me some advice on my options
Thanks
David

Hi David,
For that budget, it might be worth considering a bit of an upgrade on the D3100... e.g. Nikon D90 with 18-105 kit lens, or Canon D600 with similar (or D550 if D600 too expensive..?)

I was just checking out prices on the D5100 - which would also be worth considering. It has the same 16Mp sensor as the D7000 so effectively offers that image quality at a lower price. DP Review [url="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/22"]here.[/url]
I then came across [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00438QJ3M/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1329993755&sr=8-3&condition=new"]THIS[/url] - D7000 + 18-105 VR kit at £792, which is ridiculously low.
It's from an unestablished source - which makes me think it has to be dodgy at that price..! - but looks like it's via Amazon Marketplace, so protected by Amazon's T&C's there. Just thought I'd point it out in case you're interested.
