Lens is probably more important than the body. My first DSLR was a nikon d70 which now seems to go ridiculous cheap on ebay for something that'd still take really good photos. D90 seems a good choice (seems to be 100ish). Am out of touch with nikon lenses, but imagine someone will be able to make suggestions. Lenses hold value better so worth putting more money into that and less into body. Kit lenses generally ok, but if you're only spending 100ish on the body then you could get a higher quality lens.
I think it's a great idea to get a Dslr based on what you've said about the holiday. But take your Sony too. On recent holidays I took a Canon 7d plus a little ricoh gr camera and used both about equally, but for very different things.

Ha, contentious then! The nikon d90 seems to be a decent shout though? Any other recommendations under £400? I'm guessing for a lens I should be looking for a kit lens?
Also any more 'you're an idiot, just take your sony' or 'this is the best idea you could have' comments welcome too
