I've been considering a dSLR for a while now, as I'm constantly amazed by how much more real the pictures look compared to compacts. I'm a bit of a beginner so I'm guessing that shelling out big money would be a bit silly, so which sort of models should I look at?
I've found a place I can get a new Canon EOS 400D body from for ~£250ish (canon are doing some nice cashback deals atm) - would this be a good price, or does the apex of value lie elsewhere? Is it worth the extra £££ to move up to the 450D / 40D?
And also... lenses. Whats a good lens to start me off on?
