We spent some time researching and also asking others what they were using.
We finally settles on a Nikon D3100. We got a bundle deal for it that included a 18-55mm zoom and a 55-300mm zoom (and a SD card & 2 lens filters). We also got Bubbles sister, The Zookeeper, the same thing as she is heading off the Africa soon and trusted us to have done our research. It helped to be buying two of them as the price of the extras come down a bit.
After getting the camera, we had to get a bag for it. I had seen some bags on Etsy that i really liked the look of and they are a bit different from the normal that you get at camera shops.
We wanted to get something that Bubbles & I were both happy to be seen carrying around, so it couldn't be too girly and i didn't want just plain black.
We settled on something from Stash . So, Bubbles chose the fabric that he liked (and i ok'ed), we picked the size we thought would be good (fitting 2 lens, the camera, the small digital camera, extra batteries & SD cards etc) and ordered it. It arrived about 2wks after we placed the order, so that was pretty good from the US. We are very happy with it, it is constantly taken with us when we are out and about (Dog school, swimming events, park visits etc).

I have read the instruction book (and keep it in the camera bag just in case) and have been playing around with all the camera settings. The puppy is now very used to having her photo taken!
