Spec me a camera please!

Hi all, im leaving for australia in the next 2-3 weeks for my cousins wedding and so my brother and I have decided to get a decent camera for the ocassion. At the moment we have a compact canon 5-7mp camera (im not sure!) but want to spend approx £400 (could stretch to £500) for a decent camera.

I assume DSLR is the way to go?

Just looking to take nice pictures from the wedding as well as any sight seeing we do.

We are real noobs when it comes to cameras and so i just want to get whats best for the money!

Someone suggested a Sony nex-c3 which is £400 but i have no idea if its good or not. I have always thought canon was the way to go when it came to cameras!

Please pardon my ignorance but any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the input guys, very much appreciated.

I guess i need to sit down with my brother and decide what we really want. A part of me wants to get into photography but knowing myself i probably wont get the time to do it properly.

Any links to the deals above?
