Any suggestions for where, or even if it is a wise idea...?

My compact died, and I have been really enjoying getting good family and landscape shots this year.

I need something that my wife can 'point and shoot' but I can start playing with and trying to learn more.

I wouldn't look at used dslrs personally. There's almost no difference in price between new 'last years' models and used cameras. Have a look at [url= http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ ]Camerapricebuster[/url] and see what's cheap.

What is your budget?

This comes in at 219+postage. A good price. It has in-body stabilisation and you can get adapters from ebay to fit a lot of different brand/type of lenses (all of which will be stabilised).

This is body only, so you will need to buy a lens to get started.
