£499 and claim £200 back from Sigma. Very tempted to order. A 14mp DSLR for such a cheap price is great. It is "body only" but on the jessops page you can add the lens etc for exactly the same price!

Anyone got any opinions?

seems like a very good deal...........so even if you buy that bundle you get the 200 quid back?

very good price, but seems 'basic' spec compared to some entry level cameras that offer more for a better price anyway. Positives.... a very good sensor, high resolution to boot.

EDIT: this is a BIG camera. Dimensions and weight are quite bulky.

I'm not sure I'd want to be tied into the Sigma system personally. Saying that I'm not so clued up on it.

Been watching refurbed 350D's going at under 200 today.

It's actually three 4.6mp sensors each capturing different colour, the colours it captures are amazing and the reviews I've read have been pretty good.

Lacking in some areas (bit slow for motorsport, buffer fills quickly and write times aren't great) but an absolute steal at £299 to be honest. The Sigma range of lenses is fantastic (and much cheaper than Nikon/Canon) and would serve anybody well.

It's certainly a very cheap way of getting a very high quality camera, especially as you can add the kit lens free.

Got my D40 over Christmas and very pleased with that!

A friend has bought that camera and the images are pretty damn good. I am no camera expert they looked good but it seemed a little clunky menus wise
