Hi
After getting the wife an SLR for xmas, can you recommemd me something between 3 and £400, seen the D40x or something.

Any help would be great
Cheers

Here we go… 😀

(Settles in for the night)

I would go for the D60 over the 40.

I have a Sony A200. It works. It’ll do far more than I’m likely to ever use. It’ll do for me. Price about £250 these days, if still available

Nikon d5000 here, twin lens kit was £650 but single lens kit cheaper, its an amazing camera

The canon Ebay outlet are selling refurbed EOS450d with the kit lens. They seem to go for under £330. Come with a years manufacturers warranty.

Just acquired one myself – not at a point where I could say it is good, bad or indifferent yet, though having fun playing with it.

Nikon D3100 kit looks great for a teensy bit more cash – http://camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod1585.html

Another happy Sony A200 user – but then I also have a stock of old Minolta lenses, so that just made economic sense.
