Hi guys,

I am not exactly new to photography (although not very good) but I recently gave my old Pentax K100 Super plus lenses, filters, yongnuo flashes etc. to a more worthy cause - my lovely daughter who is undertaking a graphic art qualification.

I bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ-30 and, while it has many good qualities as a travel zoom, I miss the things that one could do with a proper DSLR. What are your thoughts on the best value buy for a DSLR + Kit Lens (18-55 mm) for example?

The Nikon D5100 seems a likely target.
