Hi all
I realise that this is a very frequent question, but I am in need of some advice on buying a DSLR. I am currently borrowing my dads Nikon D50. I am looking at doing landscape photography.
After doing a lot of research online these are the cameras that have caught my attention
Nikon d3100
Nikon d5100
Nikon d3200
Canon EOS 550d
Canon EOS 600d
They all seem to be mainly priced the same online on jessops and amazon. I also understand that the lens is very important and most of these cameras that are around £500 mark mainly come with the standard lenses (18mm - 55mm) with some exceptions.

With my budget of around £500 may be able to stretch to £600, I have always bought new and seeing so many of you good people also recommend buying second hand, I appreciate this but find it hard to trust second hand goods. Buying second hand would give me choice on lenses but I am more inclined to buy new with standard lens and then add lenses as I go when I become more used to the camera.
So, any thoughts and advice on the above cameras would be greatly received. My dad wants his camera back and I just want to get out there and shoot!
Many thanks
