Since I have started photography I feel that I have came a long way so far, considering I only started it at the start of 2013 summer. I bought my first camera not knowing how to use it was a Nikon D3100 with a Kit lens - 18-55 VR I was over the moon with the camera, but then started to realise there was MUCH better camera bodies out there, I honestly thought I was the best at photography when I was using the Nikon D3100, but overall I wasn't.
Nikon D3100 Review - When I picked up the camera I didn't really know anything about photography, I always used my GoPro HERO 2 for the Job, I paid £289.99 for the Body and a Kit lens which was a 18-55 VR I noticed and other people did...That I had potential for photography, Its always something I wanted to get into, but never had the money, now money is a big part in the hobby. With a 14.2 MP the camera really does pay off for what it is, the camera isnt as fast as I would like it to be. The size of the camera is a great holiday camera, you can never get tired of holding it all day. With its 3" monitor screen, it shows of good colour and 100% of what the image will look like.
When I later bought the Nikon D7000 with a 18-105 Lens I noticed that there was a great improvement in the quality and how fast it was.
