Morning all,

Would like to get myself a DSLR and was wonder on these two options. Basically dont want to spend too much but should I buy

New - the Canon 1100D / Nikon D3100?

or buy something second hand which would be a bit older but in its day midrange say

Canon EOS30D or something equivilent in the Nikon range??

Would like to use it for the usual family snaps plus some hooking it up to my telescope etc

Just trying to work out if the latest entry cameras are better than an older midrange camera??
 
Thanks - I'm not sure how old some of these cameras are - it was a quick look on LCE that made me think of a 2nd hand one. I'll keep an eye out for a D50 and see what they are going for. Otherwise I'm sure the current entry level cameras will get a price reduction before or after Xmas
