Hi all,
I might well have to get a new camera. I am a beginner really (have had a 350d for 2-3 years snapping around the home) and wanted something to suit where I am at present as well as to grow into.
An "all rounder" in terms of camera and lens is my aim and I had been looking at the 500d and 450d kits. I have read alot of reviews and decided that the video bit on the 500d was not the be all and end all and I would be happy enough cope with the lower res. screen on the 450d.
Just today though I noted that a couple of retailers (one being warehouse express) appeared to offering a deal on the 40d - £550 body only. I have only had a few moments to start chasing details on the 40d but initially it seems that this is more of a camera than say the 450d. I wondered what your thoughts were.
Cheers
Anthony
