I was looking at getting a good digital camera and thought I may as well go the whole way and get an entry level DSLR. I know a few people that own them and take good photos so could get some help from them.

I know Canon is a good brand or is meant to be. Is the EOS 1100D a good option?

Any advise is appreciated and I don't want to spend an absolute fortune.
 
Around about the price of the EOS 1100D would be my budget.

£250ish preferred. I know it's not much but it's all I have spare atm.
 
I know someone with a D3100 and he managed to get some of his photos onto the official Nikon page with it.

First "I don't have a clue" question, what do different lenses do? Are they mainly for different distances and light levels?

Would the Nikon D3100 be a better choice than the EOS 1100D if I could find one?
 
Thinking of grabbing the D3100 with kit lens next week. £300ish on Amazon.

Can be gotten much cheaper second hand on eBay but I hate buying things off there.
 
I will not be editing any images on the go, they will all be checked but left for examination later at home on my PC.

I'm assuming it will not include a memory card? Recommendations?

I've heard file sizes are large for the D3200 so may need something large. However I will be sticking the images straight onto my PC after.
 
The D3100 is now under £300 with kit lens. This has really thrown a spanner in the works as I could easily get hold of a better lens with the £100 I'd save.

What second hand lens would be worth getting? and would I be worth going for the "worse" camera and a "better" lens?
 
Does seem a bargain at £300 however I'm still unsure on this:

What second hand lens would be worth getting? and would it be worth going for the "worse" camera and a "better" lens?
