Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens  by Nikon  Price: $649.00  body only is $549.00

[/font]$100 off Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. Enter code ESZBSIIK at checkout. (98.11 after this discount)
$100 off Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens. Enter code ZRB9VW8Y at checkout. (79.95 after this discount)

I have read that the 
[h1]Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras[/h1]
is popular too ($134)

So, my options are the D3100 kit lens package for 649.00 plus one of the aforementioned lenses which would be ~750 or I could buy the D3100 body only for 549.00 and just buy the popuar lens mentioned above and my total would be ~685 or I could just get D3100 package for 649.00 and be okay for now...

Thoughts?

I'm looking for a higher end P&S camera and so far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 has caught my eyes. To those who have played around with this camera, how do you guys like it? Any better options within this price range?

Just want some more thoughts/opinions from fellow NT photographers.

Home-made light box!

you can see the innards. It is a cube of 1 x 1's drilled together, with muslin fabric stretched around the sides, with bristol board hammered onto the frame on the inside

I've got the Leica D-lux 4, which is an overpriced twin of the Lumix LX3. The LX5 is the upgrade to the LX3. I haven't had any complaints with my little Leica, it does what it's supposed to do, albeit, not as well as a DSLR.
Here's a review/comparison between the Canon G12, LX5, and the Nikon P7000

Borders and filters do not turn bad photographs into good photographs. Taking pictures on an angle does not make you a photographer.

what makes someone a photographer then? Answer this with no ego and superficial definitions.

Just wanted to give you a heads up on the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras , will only manual focus on the D3100, since the body does NOT have and built in focus motor. So no auto-focusing with that lens on a D3100

This is not really pocket-friendly.  I highly recommend the Canon S95.  
After owning the S95 I realize that I do not take out my T2i nearly as much.
