I use exactly the same as below. I'm looking to upgrade soon as mine has a few issues but the d5100 has been a brilliant bit of kit, considering I paid £150 for it 3 or 4 years ago. Highly recommended.
The 35mm 1.8 prime is hands down the best thing I've ever bought. Again, it cost £160 or so and I've had it 8 years or so. Incredible value for money.

As someone else said, I use it for everything... it comes on holiday, I take it on every walk we go on, I take it to work most days. When you look at it like that i think its worth spending a bit more to get what you want.

I use the built in intervalometer for self takes as opposed to a bulb release or remote. It's made such a difference to achieving decent shots without a trusty friend about. The flip screen is a big help though it looks like I'll struggle to get that on an upgraded body.

If you spend another £90 e-infinity are doing the Nikon D5600 for £389 with an 18-55 kit lens. You may want to upgrade to a 35 prime lens later but it's a nice bit ok kit with a flip round screen too.
Are you sure?
