I use a Nikon D70s at the moment that i borrow from uni but i'd really like a canon as i find them easier to use. They have higher megapixel resolution too as i tend to print large scale. Does the one in argos come with lenses, batteries etc? you might want to try www.warehouseexpress.com - they've usually got some good deals on.

the one in argos comes with a extra lense but thats it but the same camera in jessops is £650 but doesnt coem with anything extra, jessops said that the D50 is the cheapest good camera they have and the pics come out really clear and good better then the stupid digital compact camera i have,lol

canon eos 350d is the fella to go for i reckon, or if you're buying second hand you can get a 300d for about £300 with a lens and batteries

Sorry to break the flow of worthwhile conversation but if anyone needs a good laugh, go to www.rathergood.com/buffy/. We used to go on it in sixth form, and all these years later I've rediscovered it. I think R, G and J are my favourites, although I do very much like the force in which M is spoken!! ;D ;D ;D You need your speakers on btw.

went to the job centre today and they said they can only give me £100 2wards the camera and that doesnt help as i cant get £500 so i'm stuff'd, giving up on photography as theres no way i can get into it without a digital slr camera and if i saved up it would take a year or more to save up even with a job it take over 4 months or more to save

If you got a full-time job even in a shop or something, at just £5 an hour, you could have the money for your camera in less than a month!
How come the job centre will give you £100??? Will they give me money if I asked?

start playing the lottery then!! don't give up...if you want something that bad then why give up at the first hurdle? I can't afford a digital slr right now but there's no way i would ever give it up...it's my life...i love it. Wild horses wouldn't drag me away from what i want to do. I'll bloody exhaust every avenue i can to get a digital slr.

Wonder if the job centre will give me £100. I need new curtains for my living room, but the ones I want cost £150....lol Sorry Mand, but if you want something bad enough you're going to have to work for it like the rest of us. Like Lauren says, even if you get a job in a shop for a while until you have enough money to buy the camera, at least you can say you bought it rather than having it given to you on a plate! Good luck with it tho
