New Digital SLR Camera?

[syke]

Hey, im looking to buy a Digital SLR Camera, for myself as ive started to take a liking for photography (already owning a Pentax Optio 750Z 7.1mp) Ive decided i want a SLR.

Ive got around £400-450 Max to spend really.. Including a lens.

I like to just take general photos, but i also use it to zoom a fair amount.

At the moment, ive found a Nikon D50, Samsung Pro 815 but im not sure what else.

What are your views on the Samsung Pro 815?
What are your views on the Nikon D50?

Any other cameras to look at for this price?

It will be used for general photo use, and to take pictures of sunsets (like pictures shown in other threads) i will want some sort of zoom, but im not sure what yet. What would you lot get (including lens) for £400-450 max?

A friend of mine just recently brought a Film SLR, just wondering...would you get one, or would you go digital?

For £400-450, including a lens, if thats your maximum budget I'd get a digital compact like the Canon S3 IS. It'll give you a decent zoom and decent results. It has full manual controls like on an SLR too. If you just want it for sunsets it'll do fine.

Hmm, what about just a standard lens, till i get a decent one at a later date? And would you bother with Film SLR's?

Just as reference..what sort of Digital Cameras would you look at if you werent getting SLR?
