I may also consider selling my AF-S DX 18-135mm kit lens that came with my D80. Not a great lens I'm not gonna lie, but a useful lens for walkabout daylight shooting. Only reason I don't use it more is because at a minimm aperture of f/3.5 at minimum focal length, I don't get very far in low light (bear in mind I generally hate to use flash). If you find a great body-only deal feel free to give me a PM!

I knew that..

Hang on, look at the seats...have you seen how close they are?! This thing is designed for manorexic hipster LEGO kids with too much cash!

Cue racist.

^I was actually considering suggesting film SLR...but the learning curve is slooooow. Better to get into once you know how to opperate the basics in harmony: shutter speed, film speed and aperture.

If you thinkg you are going to start photography as a hobby, go for the D40.

The thing is, with your budget you can either get a great bridge camera (as far as those are concerned) or a bottom end DSLR body. The reason I emphasize body is because the real investment at most levels that any photographer makes is in his lenses.
I agree that the D40 or any other DSLR could potentially be used by an amateur. The truth is it depends on how much the photographer plans on investing in the hobby and how extensive his/her needs are.
The way I see it, you may get the bridge camera and be happy with what you have. You might get the D40 and be happy with what you get but if you don't plan on taking your photography any further than the D40 package, I say you should have gone for the bridge.

I'd rather have this thing:

Portobello market last week-end.
Taken with my OM10 35mm. 200mm zuiko lens. Out of date cheap cheap cheap dixon iso200 film.

It's a shame James, you're getting behind your game son! Chin up! ;)

^^^^Isn't that just a long exposure though? You would never actually see that with the naked eye..

GOOOD GOD.
I lol'd..

saw a blue hamann bentley in kensington a couple months back, had massive ~24" rims, looked like a blown up audi TT

I HATE that. It just screams 24 year old saudi prince who doesn't and won't have to do shit all in his life to afford bling like this.

Same with the Evo, honestly, it's not that bad a car looks-wise, but they did go massively downhill from the last few incarnations, everyone's doing it, VW with the Scirocco, now Ford with the Capri, i'd be here all day naming them all, however one exception (for me at least) is the new Fiat 500.

That car is brill! I've been in it with four other mates, windows down, music banging out like crazy and knees up to your head on the back seat. Manual. Simple. Still prefer the original though.

Rib cage! that's nothing, during my recorder recital in year 8 i was attacked by my over zelous music teach causing me to blow out a lung,fibia, spleen and half my rectum during the high c# in the middle 8 of mary had a little lamb.
I finshed the song and went on to do small virtuoso piece in the school play, with half my rectum still wedged firmly in the mouth piece.. kids today with their fucking ipods and fixies.. haven't got a sodding clue

LOL (<--I actually did..)

eBay a D80. If you can make sure it's in perfect order, they go for a lot less now that the D90 has come along. I have one and love it! Particularly the fact that most settings can be accessed from the buttons rather than having to go through tedious menus.

Ken Block's stuff is always awesome, I posted a few of his videos earlier in the thread, fantastic driving.

P.S. I bloody hate those new Imprezas, I was thinking it was a Focus he was driving until I saw the badge.

I totally agree. I hate everything about the last two models. The one before was a bit bland looking but the bug eyed was awesome in a weird way.
What do you think of the latest Evo?
I really like it but it looks a bit...chunky..

EPIC.

ONE post to derail thread. This must be a record? As in the 10000th such thread?

Saw a guy restoring one of these today. It is in decent (ish) nick, but the guy was going for concours. good luck fella.

Seen one of those on the road in perfect condition in red. Great looking car!

I really liked that concept. Although this would be epic fail at any kinds of speed.

It's the split rear window that does it for me.
Also, tired of shelf queens. Let's show 'em with they're minges still sore!
