• Looking at getting the Mrs a DSLR for Xmas. Budget only stretches to something second hand, so advice on what's right/wrong with the following please...

    Canon EOS 350D (around £50-£55)
    Canon EOS 20D (around £60)
    Canon EOS 400D (around £60-£65)
    Canon EOS 30D/40D (£100-£130)

    I know I'll need to pick up a lens as well- are Nikon's any better/cheaper?

  • Nikon and Canon are arguably the same. It comes down to preference. A lot of people love Nikon but they can be tricky to get the hang of, I find canon more intuitive with all your settings easily laid out in a grid on screen. No question about it, whichever camera you get, buy the 50mm f1.8 lens to go with it, it's cheap but gives great results and that soft background look many people want
