I have a Nikon D70 which I paid £480 for (Including new 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses and a 1GB card) a few years back. Shop about, you can get some bargains going second hand so long as it's been looked after.
Call me old fashioned but I dandered into a local Currys store and bought the one I felt most satisfied with. Was in and around the £300 mark if I remember correctly.
Anyone using the Sony Alpha 200.. I see this and the Nikon D40 at roughly the same prices although the D40 is 6MP compared to teh 10mp the Sony offers. Also lot of other differences but what you reccomend??
Well I have a few days yet as applied for one of these interest free credit cards for 9 months so get some good feedback. Weird one is that both them cameras, from Argos, are cheaper than what they are on say eBay/Amazon etc which is weird.
