Digital photography

Some horrendous digital photography newbie questions for you... Which DSLR for £600? Nikon D5100 or Canon 600D? I used to have a Canon film SLR and liked the controls a lot. I was OK, but student finances and cost of film made for slow progress. I'd also like a wide/super wide lense - I take it there's no way short of £400 to get one? ANy advice from those with more knowledge and experience gratefully received.

For £600? Canon 5D mk1. Fo shizzle.

What's that? Do I know anyone that's selling one? Well, it just so happens...
