Blimey, you've all gone soft! I expected to have to endure some pretty thick abuse to dig out good advice. Thanks a lot. Quite a lot of conflicting advice - which I guess means "everybody's needs are different - decide what you'll need it for and pick to suit".
The general consensus seems to be that newer sensors are worth the money, but pixel counts and newness of lenses aren't. TBH I'm inclined to go for the Nikon D5100 with the 18-55mm lens, and then save for a wide angle lens maybe even a non-zoom to save a bit of cash - the Tokina everyone seems to rate as the cheapest acceptable wide angle lens and it's about £400.
