I purchased a Nikon D3100 a few months back and aside from a few teething problems I absolutely love it. It was a kit DSLR with 2 lenses 18-55mm and 55-200mm AF-S VR, DX and I'm really happy with them now that I slowly figuring out how to shoot manually again, I learn't all my photographic skills on a Pentax K 1000 with film and a darkroom. Back to square 1 for me. I know what I want to do I just need to figure out which buttons to push, and the post processing is DOING MY HEAD IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't seem to take it in. I think I'm getting old.
That's great you've got a good camera Sunset Twilight and tizza we know what fab pics your camera takes now. I replace my camera every two years. My last one was a Canon EOS 50D which took 75,500 photos over the last two years lol. Yes I take a lot of pics Just got the Canon EOS 7D hope to test it out this weekend
Hey Pete, my husband steals my discards lol. The one he had which was originally mine is past it's shutter count.
A handy hint: If you want to know how many photos your camera has taken, download the free EOS Info software from http://astrojargon.net plug in your camera and it will tell you
No apocalypse, the shutter counts are different as in Canon 40D has less than Canon 50D etc. I think it's about 75,000 for the 40D but 150,000 for the 50D. It's best to check the specifications. They have another word for it - the shutter actuation count
Thanks for that info, Robyn. Apparently the shutter actuation count for a Nikon D3000 is 100,000, but this is only what people have said on the internet. I went to have a look in the manual, but I can't seem to find it.

Can't you just tell from the number in the file name?
No Meso because if you take as many pics as I do you will see that the count only goes to 9,999 then it starts at 1 again. I can take up to 21,000 pics in a couple of weeks when I'm travelling
Yes I do shoot bracketed sometimes and yes I seem to be shooting in continuous mode lol. A gondolier in Venice said I took more pics than the Japanese and that I should just invest in a movie camera lol
Well I worked all my life until I had a series of heart attacks in 97, never went in a plane till I was 28 so I'm enjoying my retirement while I can. Pity life isn't the other way around
I bought a run out model Nikon D3000, with the VR 55mm lens, for my 40th. followed up with a vanguard tripod, Lowepro sling case, spare battery and a VR 300mm lens in the space of a couple of months.Already had the inverter from Dick smith, so one battery is charging while I am driving around... All the photos I have posted are courtesy of the 300mm lens.
(edit) and an umbrella that the camera uses. I just hold it and get soaked)
POW! ZAP! I don't chase storms, I patiently wait for them to come to me.... Usually the soaked guy with the dry camera, atop a mountain, out of running distance from the car...
