Ã,£500 ish but dont mind getting a cam for alot less and adding lenses as i go

Right, so you're looking at dSLR then.

My recommendation would be the Canon 450D :)
I have one myself.

my mate has just got one of those for Ã,£350 with 2 lenses i am sure its a 450d or a 400 something    going to have a look in the sales i think 

Have a look at Digital Photography Review

American-based (reflected in the prices) but fantastic for some well-detailed reviews of many cameras, as well as a great search system.

Hello mat. If you can give me till tomorrow morning i will post up a long story and write up i have been working on with regards to buying or upgrading your camera. Should be some useful info in there on what to look for etc etc. Mike

I use the older version of that, the 400D and I absolutely love it. The 450D comes with the DIGIC-3 image processing engine. Either this or the equivalent Nikon would be my choice but me <3 Canon (plus my dad's got loads of lenses which I can nick)

Here we are:

And Im also going to suggest the 450D or if you want a nice but cheaper camera the FujiFinepix S700 is great too.

Dear Mat,

my lecturer has given me a website which reviews all camera's out on the market, so it might be of some use. I'll find it and have it up tomorrow.

i have a 450d mate and i love it.

Lol I already suggested that site earlier in the thread. It's the one I use whenever I look for a camera.
