That's exactly what I'm using =]
I wear glasses myself and had a ton of them so I just went ahead and stuck 3 into my camera bag. I did something smart! Yay! lol

NAS comes in small, regular and large. Some here have large!

Price is okay. I just don't want to spend horribly large amounts after just purchasing the camera for nearly $600 (about 380 British pounds, I think). I used to be much more familiar with the conversion rates when i lived in Germany!

For now, I think I only have small NAS...I fear it may grow to regular in the near future though.

You did pretty well at that price. I paid £300 for mine, body only.

Which comes out at about $470 according to my converter, I though I had a good deal, retail here is about £450, body only.

I am very impressed with it to be honest, if I had enough cash I would buy another and convert it to IR (Infra Red) My current IR camera is a D1.

The only bug for me is it needs AFS lenses to autofocus but MF works OK if there is no hurry.

I got it on sale and got a free camera bag with it! =] So, I guess it wasn't a horrible price, but still a very nice chunk of change for me. I had to save for several months and now my list of things I want to add to it has already extensively grown.

Must...not...buy...on impulse!! :P

I bought the body from Calumet, ex demo, with about 100 clicks on it, I got the 18-105mm lens brand new from my buddy, he gave me a new, genuine Nikon camera bag which I use just for the D3100 and a couple lenses.

I started my digital SLR photography in 2005 with my D1 and a 60mm Micro Non Zoom I used that for nearly a year before adding the 80-200.

Mine is very much a budget kit, built up over several years.
