    Go for a Nikon. That's the only brand suits Sri Lanka and very well accepted by professionals too. You will find it easy in post purchase activities like repairs, services with Nikon since it is well established in Sri Lanka as a DSLR brand..

    With regard models, try something like D3100. It is a very good entry level DSLR. If you are with a good budget it's worth trying for a D90 too...

    Search google for reviews... cameralab.com is one good site...

    hope to see some of your first clikz soon...

    does 3100 have a built in auto focus motor?

    NO. You have to buy specific lenses with motor built in with them (FYI there are so many) and that's only if you are going for further lenses.

    but if you are referring to auto focus feature, it is there.
