sony alpha a350 vs canon 1000d

Zairs · 13 Jul 2014 at 19:59

Looking at getting my first dslr. I think I've narrowed it down to a second hand sony alpha a350 with a 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 DT zoom lens for £200
Or a canon 1000d with 18 - 55 mm lens for £150 delivered

Just after advise on which is better for a newbie. Also would the 18-70 lens be better?

What's the canon equivalent?
What lens would be best as they are seperate?

That nikon d3100 looks very good, so many decisions
is there any other sites to look for a better deal?

What's a defuser and is it worth £5 extra on the price of the lens
Nikon AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR is the lens I'm looking at

To what, and how much more will it be?

Not really sure what I'd take photos of the most I do a variety at the mo, car pics, landscapes and family

I'll only get one lens at the mo, my budget is creating up bit by bit. Started around £150, think it will be about £250 with the bag and card

What do I have to look out for with the memory card?

Thanks, sorry about all the questions.

One last one, I've just seen a d3200 for £250 delivered, how much a better is it than the d3100

Got the camera, 18-55mm lens, bag and card for £ 250 delivered. Now just got to wait for it to arrive.
Is there aa good book/site to teach me how to use it well
