remember to try b4 you buy, not all camera suit your need

but I never used DSLR before...is that makes difference though it's the first one?

and is D3100 is a "ok" choice? I'm ok with 入門機...but I wonder if there's any better one

Well...it kinda like the digitization ogf some control so some control have to go into the Menu for setting instead a button,

But if you are fine with it, you can goto the Showroom at try it you first

ah ha...I think it's worth to try. We can try it in Fortress? Or does Nikon has some sort of showroom?

I will take you to the showroom, Fortress ain't gona let you try that much

I see, I'd like to go by the end of this month I'm thinking to get it before I go back to JPN for a week in Nov

okie donkey, gimme a call if you need any help

thx!
