Hi guys,

I am in a dilemma...

I would like to buy a canon 400d but am unsure of what additional lens to get with it?

Also is the canon 400d the right camera to go for?

Yes I like photography, Yes I take a lot of pictures, landscape, some animals, friends and family stuff really....

So I am thinking do I get the canon 400d for this? or a nikon d40 or nikon d40x???

Whats bang for buck?

What lens should I go for? What memory card?

Or would you recommend a point and shoot canon powershot???

Just dont want to waste money for something I enjoy but am not overly enthusiastic about?

Please advise

Thanks in advance..

Cheers...
 
thats what i thought, but in the event i get into it, then would the d40 be a waste of money? when for an extra £70 i could get the canon 400d?

just dont know whether at this point, with me being a newb etc if i should get a lens aswell...

is a SLR really what i want?
 
if you were to go with the canon 400d what lens would you recommend for taking long distance shots, some close up shots, family pics, sports shoots, landscape pics and holiday pics??
 
if i were to purchase the canon 400d - body only - what lens would you recommend I get with it?

remember its for a complete noob?

shots id be taking are: sports, landscapes, family, weddings, close up's, some animals,

from the bundle packages other competitors stock, what would you say is ideal for a noob for the canon 400d??

thanks for all your helps peeps
 
thanks for your thoughts guys...

northstander, is the picture quality of both fuji's suggested the same as the canon 400d?

I see the fuji is about £200 cheaper then the canon which is an advantage also the fact its lens will cover a wide range of shots I am interested in taking...

I believe its not an SLR? is that true?

What happens in the event I get the bug? I suppose I could sell it and then move on to an SLR??

Alternatively, how much difference is there between this camera and an SLR...For example, after a period of time having learnt the functions and once I am confident with them if I then chose to go for an SLR, will I then have to rebegin how to use the SLR or are the functions, settings very similar??
 
im going down to DO NOT MENTION COMPETITORS on thursday to have a play with the fuji s9600 and the canon 400d

anything particular you guys can recommend I look out for which we help me decide which camera to go for?

If you do go for an SLR the lens to get is a Tamron 18-250mm it's the nearest you will get to an all round lens

I read on a lens site that the tamron 18-250mm lens was not all that good - they suggested the sigma 17 - 300mm to be better irrespective of the fact its got a wider aperture and allows more light in - is that true??
 
thanks everyone for your help...

Especially Nico's for providing such detailed knowledge and saving me ££££

I bought the fuji s9600 last night....

Got lots of learning to do I can see, there are so many functions on manual WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!

Any guides, tutorials for this camera?? I havent really had a hardcore play which I realise is the best way to just get stuck in and go for it....cant wait

Thanks in advance..
