400d, i found um for £420 body only, then was gonna get the 28-135 IS lens to go with it and a cheap 70-300.

adjustable settings are the most important thing, amungst other things. With an slr you dont want to be getting any less than 10 mega pixels. I know with my point and shoot it has quite limited functionality. and i wish id have bought a d-slr instead. imo it takes some great shots but i need more from my photos. Only got 8Mega Pixlz. And i was taking these on soft snap.

these were taken at 8pm last night with the sun nearly at the horizon with no tripod with a canon 350d and a 70-200 F4 L lens.

Everything was against me including time but with the right equipment i managed to get some decent shots, thats from an old model camera with just 8mp too
I would get the 400d with my money with todays range of cameras for a beginner.

define a poor sensor though, none of the cameras above have poor sensors, but only the canon take the canon L series lens which is exactly why i went for it, if its good enough for the pro's!
And i can confirm that with the same sensor the glass makes a massive difference on the quality of the shot.
what camera equipment do you shoot with?

nah mate, im nt talking about SLRs,
was talking to the michael dude as he hasnt got an SLR, just saying thats perhaps the biggest difference. as a lot of p&s do have adjustable settings.
ive just got a fz50, i did have a 400d and 28-135 IS, but took it back thout f**k it id rather take my Fz50 to africa than have 2 cameras and not go anywhere.
noise on the fz50 sooo much higer than the 400d tho. o well.

don't be fooled by "the more pixels the better" cos that's bollox! It's no good having 10.2 million billion pixels if they are all blurred!
Canon/Nikon offer similar performance, what lens you stick on the camera makes the difference. I'd suggest trying a 400D (or whatever the entry level Canon is called this week) and the equivalent Nikon in a shop and seeing which feels the best to use... some people I know have said the Canon body is too small to be comfortable.
I use Nikon stuff

another bonus to the nikon i was looking at was, on the camera it had a info button ..... so instead of looking through the destructions at what it means you simply press the info button and it tells you! fairly handy i thought.

How many mega pixels !!!
D
dick
u looked at the fz50? ther bout £285ish..
and u would NEVER be spending £400 on a dlsr, ud be buying more lenses a lot which is why ive held off til after ive been to africa in the summer

the challeng there would be finding a big enough printer to see pic at full size
Essentially the photos would be as good as eyesight! lol.
