Spec me a Digital SLR

I'm pretty much going to recommend a 2nd hand Canon 40D to everyone now. Great camera and can be had for a fantastic price.

It would leave you with around £200-300 for a lens, which leaves you with a few options in the Canon and Sigma ranges, this kind of depends on what you want to shoot though.

Talk Photography Forums have a pretty good For Sale section which is worth checking out.

It does seem very good, just a bit cluttered because people can bump their threads.

What makes the 40D better then the 450D?

Also where's the best place to go to actualy get your hands on some dSLRs and have a good play?
 
A quick Google showed up this comparison - http://www.dpnotes.com/canon-40d-vs-canon-450d-digital-rebel-xsi/

For me, the build quality would be the most obvious thing initially. I had a 400D when I got into photography, and I borrowed a friends 40D for a couple of days once. I went back to the 400D and it felt like a toy.

You could go into somewhere like Currys and have a play with the cameras. They won't have the 40D anymore, but the 50D is pretty similar.
 
Here are some riddles to solve/google selling stuff.

Check a 'Capital of England' Camera exchange
Theres a place with MPB in its title
And the band called the misfits. Change the last vowel with the last vowel of the alphabet.
 
Thanks everyone who's answered daft questions.

I've been bitten by the bug in a big way, I fell in love with cameras as a child after buying one for 10p at a jumble sale. It took 126 file, however I never could afford to have films developed and never quite took the time to understand composition. I basically have not owned a camera that isn't a hand me down or built into a phone being given a 35mm fixed focus hallimex at the age of about 10.

Just after Christmas I got myself a Fuji S1500 and I'm loving it. At the moment I'm mostly focusing on landscape photos walking distance from where I live.

its mifsuds..

Believe OCUK have a new policy reguarding naming of competitors in certain ways and i believe it doesnt breach it.

IE, linking to rain forest people is ok if advertising a lamp, but something to OCUK's core marketing not good
