what about all your canon lenses?
will go to waste surely unless you stay canon?

I have a 350d, but when I was looking I had a play with a few of the Nikon models.
TBH if you are looking for a SLR that is easy to use with good features stick with a Cannon such as the 400d. You will be able to use all the lenses that you currently have plus you will already understand the menu and settings.
On the other hand if you are looking for a relativly cheap option have a look at the new range of Pentax SLR that have just been relaesed

Great bit of kit and the images with the standard lense are spot on.

no my old man is buying them off me no probs there mate
I'd stick with Canon. I've had four of there cameras now. Only my latest one is a DSLR. Whenever I've researched purchasing a new camera, Canon has always been either at the top of any reviews or very close.
I had a play with a Nikon in the shop when I bought my 350d and I prefered the way the Canon worked and to me with the comparison images I saw the 350d had better image quality.
I haven't used a 400d but if my camera breaks I'll be going with Canon again!

The 400D is great, I'm sure that if you look around I praise it in most threads regardless of the topic 
I've had some great pictures from the kit lens, but if you already have several lenses I think you would be mad to change to Nikon.
I'll stop there
All with the 18-55mm lens that comes as standard, what lenses do you already have?
I would also directly compare price by price for what you get from Canon and Nikon, this may help you make your decision.

I'm currently getting the DSLR urge. I've read what seems like thousands of reviews but still can't make my mind up whether to go with a Nikon D40x or a Canon Eos 400d, i think i'm leaning towards the Canon just slightly only for the fact that they do a wide range of lenses.
Anyway this site keeps an eye on all the latest prices, pretty good i think.
Don't forget also that Nikon have a £60 cashback and Canon are doing £50 cashback at the moment, which may help in your decision.

I'd avoid the d40 personally, serious lack of lenses to choose from! Save for the D80 or go D50 or D70...
Did you break your 350D from abuse, maybe upgrade to the 30D?

Ive already been lookin. Think the kit lens is good enough for a wide angle then i would like a 75mm-300mm and a macro lens. There thats another £600-£800 gone.
Going to look on Jessops then compare on e-bay, see if i can sae me self some pounds.
Wait till you get a lens addiction and it all goes down hill from there

It's to easy, p.s. buy something better than the 75-300 if you can
check here for all the lenses and decent prices http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/If you want to save some dollar, give 'kerso' a private message on here http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php he owns this eBay store http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FLASH-CAMERA but if you contact outside of eBay you save even more
, UK warranty and rebates can still be claimed if any are on...enjoy..
p.s. yes I am a camera geek, so feel free to ask anything

cheers for that mate, i will ave a look at that and also bare you in mind if i'm stuck with out.
I got the 70 - 300 IS USM the other day for the 400D I quite like it image stabilizer is great when zoomed in fairly close to something.
Also use a sigma 17 - 70mm which I love.
But the money is adding up quickly as to how much I have spent on various bits filters, Decent tripod etc. I knew I was gonna spend a fair bit on the camera but only had it a few months and spent around £1500. And have lots more I want yet. Ah well its money being spent on something better than pissing it up against the wall.

What lens do you recomend then for my 1st purchase, want a zoom lens between £150-£300. and what is USM ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_motor
This should explain what USM is, takes a couple of reads, but does make sense if you concentrate
Hmmm zoom upto £300, personally I would look at this, but it does depend on what you want to use it for, 28-135mm may not be right for what you want to take, there is a slightly cheaper 28-200mm without IS. If you use the discount code *cm2u-pr06* on cameras2u then you'll get it a little bit cheaper.
I think there is a 135mm soft focus lens for a fair bit cheaper. If you read around and look at peoples comments on the lenses you'll find one that will suit what you want.
