Merry Christmas all!!!
Looking for our first DSLR, ideally wanted to spend £300 but am tempted by the Pentax K-x with an additional lense:

Is this worth the extra £100 budget? or if we wanted to stick to £300 does anyone have any recommendations?

It's a decent camera, I've been happy with my k20d and now that Hoya have fully committed to Pentax they've introduced new cameras and lenses with more to come. The other advantage is that you can use lenses made all the way back to the mid 70s in K mount fitting.

Single lens k-x for 329.99 here if you dont want to spend for the dual
K-x is hard to beat for a DSLR at that price
You might also consider an Olympus PEN as well? Not DSLR I know but very compact and with the in-body stabilisation + adapter lots of legacy lenses can be used
Ta, I think we may actually go for a bridge camera, in particular the Fujifilm HS10, seems to get good reviews... and £256 @ Argos at the moment.
