please picking a DSLR.
I am about to start a photography NC course with digital imaging and for this I need a 35mm SLR camera, I have a Pentax MZ50 to use for the dark room techniques and I am looking to buy a DSLR.
I dont mind ebay/second hand as I only really have a budget of £250 to begin with to see how I get on with it.
I have looked on ebay and have come across the Nikon D50 and D70.
A few people I talk to online (can you tell im not new to this forum stuff ) use the D40 and canon 450/400 .
I have read somewhere that Nikon doesnt have the option to just look at the LCD screen when taking pictures unlike the Canon, does that really make much difference NOT having that feature.
Thanks for any replies.
(oh and im still not sure what the abbreviated terms are in the photo forum so please tell me what you mean when you put just a couple of letters )
