I think sometimes people get spoiled with how fast technology moves, but I'll just say that when this camera was introduced it was a fine camera, and it still is. It's just that the newest stuff has gotten progressively better in several ways. But, since it's your first dSLR, you will find it to be pretty darn decent. I still have my D50 from several years ago (6 megapixel) and it still takes as good a picture as it did when it was new, and they were good then. Don't be over influenced that it's a bad camera, it's all relative. A new generation of that camera costs $1500+ (body only,) and Peskaa should prefer the D300s ($1599 -body only,) D700 ($2399 -body only) and D3 ($4000+ -body only) cameras over the D100, it's like comparing apples and oranges, so take that into consideration. Heck, I prefer them too, but can't afford most of them. The lens looks decent, better than the D3000 kit lens. The only folks who would really be unhappy with an excellent condition D100 and that lens are those who have already been using the newer stuff. That won't matter to you for a while, seriously. Use it, learn how to shoot, then you can upgrade down the line. I still have my D50, and use it along with my D300. Unless you're intent is to print huge prints, you won't really need anything bigger than a 6mp camera. Believe me on this one. You came out ahead on your deal trading for a used Xbox.
