Im looking at a budget of £350, Mayb upto £500.
But i went into a camera store the other day and the guy at the time suggested a nikon d3000, Im looking for a semi pro one so can anyone give me advise?
 
I recently purchased a nikon D5000 for £479, with 18-55 kit lens, uv filter & cleaning kit.

I'm very pleased with it - I chose it because (apart from liking Nikons) I have small hands, it has a swivelling screen on the back so I don't have to lie on the ground to take good shots, the reviews I read about it were all very positive, and it was good value for money.

Why don't you go to your local camera shop and have a play with a couple?
 
On the Nikon front the entry semi-pro (now-ish) body is the D300 - Not seen any in that price range. second user or ex-demo:'(

For me semi pro is all about build quality and just how dust proof the seals are - body costruction is more rugged imho ***:thumbs:
 
You could get a Canon 30D (around £280) or a 40D ( around £400), both great cameras.

Why not checkout the Fuji S5 Pro.
IMHO a much better cam than the above mentioned D200.
On the budget you have you might want to consider Nikon D1X, a good one will set you back about £250-300, putting it well within your budget and it's a Pro Body :clap:
 
You should get one that matches your needs the most. Spend some time researching and don't be tempted to rush into the market to buy one.
