Thanks for ur valuable advise... can u plz advise me on lens too... should i now purchase any additional lenses apart from the 18-55 mm lens which i get free along with the camera.

I am a beginner and dont hav much idea plz help me out....

Just stick with the basic kit until you understand better how to use the camera. Buying additional lenses now is sort of risky because you don't know what you need.

I take your advise ... thank you ....

If you can round up another $200 you might want to look at the D5100

I have the 550d and I love it. I went for the EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens rather than the standard lens kit.

Is it better than the D3100? From the reading I did prior to deciding "better" is a pretty subjective thing. I'd suggest you actually handle both, see which one feels better etc. Which ever way you decide you'll have something decent - neither are bad cameras.
