SLR Recommendations

[Little_Miss_Gem]

Hi all,
I'm looking into possibly getting a digital SLR, and was wondering if anybody could recommend one that it reasonably priced (I'm looking more lower-end of the SLR budget to be honest!), yet still produces a fantastic photo.
Any advice or comments would be much appreciated, thanks in advance,
~*Gems*~ xx

The Nikon D50's a great option at £399 (inc. lens) or the Canon 350D at £489 (inc. lens). I don't have any personal experience of either of these, but I'm sure some owners will be glad to give you some opinions on them.

I have the Nikon D50 and just am in love with it. What I found when I was looking to make a purchase was to visit your local camera shop and get the feel of them. I was originally at the Canon 350 but when I held it, it just didn't feel right in my hands.

I have had the Canon 350D for nearly a year now, never had a problem with anything on it and hadn't heard of any sensor problems either......love the smallness of the body and the ease of use...would recommend it.

Fuji 5600 is really good and priced around 200 there is a fuji thread somewhere here

I've just purchased a Nikon D50, got a great deal on the net:) Camera and lense for £384 and they were doing a world cup promotion where you got a free 1gb memory stick with any DSLR. I'm pleased because I priced one up yesterday at just over £440 with exactly the same spec, memory card wasn't free though!

I tried out the Nikon D50 and I thought it was fab, and I would have bought it only my dad was buying me the camera so I went up to a D70s lol.
The D50 is nice and lightweight I thought :)

Check out your local Jessops though, as we got a fantastic deal - if you find it cheaper on the internet (must be a UK site though, I used Amazon.co.uk as my example) and they'll match the price and give you 10% of the difference back! Then you have the peace of mind of being able to go into the shop if you have any questions or problems :)

there was a comparison of the canon and nikon in one of the photo mags this month (sorry can't remember which one) and the nikon came out very well, only I recently bought the Canon!!!!

ive got the 350d and love it, although go into your local jessops and try the nikon d50 aswell, its about £100 cheaper, but i like the feel of the canon over the nikon

i have the Canon 350D and love it! I tested the Nikon d70 but I only have small hands and it felt too big. The Canon was smaller and lighter which was perfect for me.

Ive got the Nikon D50 and the picture quality is amazing!

ooh I had the FujiS7000 and absolutley loved it. Damn! how I miss it :cry: I can't shake the sound it made when it fell to the ground:(
Super pix quantity so crop and enlarging was a treat without losing out on Quality.
