Recommend me a cheap SLR camera

[Hazza]

Budget between £250-£350.

Had an Olympus E-510 that i shared with an ex, broke up, and she took it, coz i didn't pay anything towards it in the first place. So i want one of my own now!

What can u recommend me? Anything simple and standard really.

 

[f0xy]

Canon 1000D or second hand 450d

 

[mas]

Ive got a 350D lying around which I need no more...

How much?

 

[mas]

Im not sure what they go for. Make me an offer.

 

[Reev]

Should be able to pick up a second hand 30D for that quite easily.

 

[BoomOne]

400D or 450D secondhand. Sold my 400D body with battery grip and 2 memory cards for 300 on the bay a few weeks back. 450D is nicer than the 400D tho

 

[Gally]

Can you pick up second hand ones for £250 ish?

400d bodys - yes I'm sure you can

 

[Curtis!]

D40's are cheap as chips!

 

[Gally]

I really want a nice camera! Think I may have to look at one of these cheaper ones!

Any cheap SLR's for a noob?

 

[mas]

I have a 350D, will see if I can find the box tonight. Got a charger etc...

Will let that go for 150+ p&p

 

[Gally]

Any examples of pics with a 350D?

22 images on there buddy, all depends on what lens you use though.

 

[mas]

Great started camera, I used this to get in to photography. Now use a 400D, and buying a 550D today.

 

[Gally]

Fantastic guys thank you.

Can some one give advice on lenses? I'm sure the standard one would be fine to start.

Should see you ok.

 

[Omid]

Whats your budget for a lens?

What is your main form of photography?

 

[Gally]

A lens, are we talking £100 a time?

Probably the car, some nature stuff just general use really so nothing fancy, is a lens always recomended?

 

[mas]

The standard kit lens is more than adequoet (sp?)

 

[Gally]

Adequate!

Thanks mate, were all those pictures taken from a 350D?

 

[Omid]

Yeah, just grab a kit lens, get the newer one that has IS.

18-55mm IS. I think they are pretty cheap, like 50 quidish?

 

[Gally]

So same size 18-55 but with IS?

Yeah, thats the one in the link. I can't think of anything else for that budget. I would spend the rest of the money on an EF 50mm F/1.8. You would do well if you could get both for £100, probably looking more like £120 realistically. But its a great starting prime lens. Real pro results with that if you want to do portrait shots.

So I would have 3 lenses? Would a noob like me require these? Will I know how to use them?

Thanks for your help guys.
