Digital Cameras

I originally wanted the Olympus E410 but once I'd handled it and handled the E510 there was no debate - the E510 has a protrusion on the front of the body on the right hand side which allowed for a better grip - the E410 is flat and I felt that made it difficult to hold - it didn't feel natural.

cannon 40d is a nice camera and would be my choice or a 30d as they are around cheap since the 40d came out

I look like I will be getting the new Panasonic semi SLR FZ28 comes with 10 meg and massive 18 times zoom plus image stabalizer

It seems quite a easy option not to small, not to large and no other lens to carry around plus leica lens

Hope to get mine end of month

I'm a sold out Canon man myself, though the new Nikon's look nice.

If you want to wade through a seriously heavy forum (check out how many people seem to always be online), then goto http://photography-on-the.net/forum/

It will, I guarentee, answer any question you have about Canon (and a lot of other makes) cameras.

If the DSLR is too big, and the compacts don't cut it, look at a Canon Powershot - it's kind of "hybrid" - the SX10 has Image Stablisation and the latest Digic processor - Amazon has this down for £356. This is a very good static camera.

It's got a 28mm lense which is great for wide angle shots and the zoom will allow you decent use for portraits etc.

Of course, my favourite lens for my is a 500mm Canon L lens. Sadly, at around £6000 for lens alone it will be on my wish list for some time to come.

I went for the Canon 450D in the end and to top it off nicely, Comet buggered the price up by £50 in my favour - woot. Had a couple of really nice and helpful emails off a few people too, so thanks all, been a great help as ever.

Top choice, Lee.
I don't think you'll regret it. The Canon is a good camera, definitely.

Good Choice, now don't forget about that Canon forum (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/) - you could spend months there without coming up for breath!

I saw that forum on Thursday and OMG, when i visited there was 2,222 people online, i couldn't cop my breath, that is an incredible amount of people, it must be the biggest i have ever seen. Cheers.

Lee,

I have just bought the Canon 450D for when we want decent photos and my wife's handbag contains the Sony compact for those spur of the moment photos.

450D was £375 from Dixons at Manchester Airport (after £50 cashback). Normally hate shopping at Dixons but it was a great price. Sony compact was ~£100.

I have to comment that the 450D is totally in another league in terms of the quality of photos that you can take.
