| You lot have a lot to answer for Indeed you do. After seeing the awesome quality of some of the shots you lot have taken, I am soon to be a member of the nice camera club. I was looking at getting just a standard one, but I though why pay 200 pounds for a camera I'll replace in a year or 2 when I can pay nearly double that and get a good quality one with better features. So I've taken the plunge and found this to be what I want from a camera  http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...epixs9000z.asp http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?art=2072 It's should be here in a few days - thank god I'll be taking some summer shots soon. ---- Why do Computer Scientists get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

| I'll say it again: its not the camera!!! but having one in the first place, yes, does help.

| Looks nice lee (haven't read the reviews). BUT- and your gonna kill me for saying this- d50 with kit lens   . Think about it..... longer, longer. Ok if u feel strong enough click this link http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/stor...&category_oid=Sorry, just saw that the price was 399.99 on dpreview and well the d50 there, with kit lens, is 15ish quid cheaper. Sorry again   HEXUS believes no one person has a monopoly on ideas, and that your opinion matters. |

| Fair enough mate. Just thought that for not too much more (did a bit of digging on the prices) an slr would be a good choice. Like you say though each to their own. HEXUS believes no one person has a monopoly on ideas, and that your opinion matters. |
