Trial and error will see you do well.:thumbs:

Very good starter camera though does this only apply to the older lenses though? Yeah, most new ones are AF now anyway. I don't think you would be disappointed with a D40x, got good reviews everywhere :)

	decided to go for the Canon EOS30d. i know its a more advanced camera but atleast i don't have to change in the long run.
richard_cooper	posted on 13th Jan 08 at 19:08
	Thats not a bad price, you will be getting a very good camera for under £400

I had it to replace my 10D and its very good. 30D is abit much for a newbie to digital photography. Also where you seeing the 400D for £430 for the body. Mine cost £415 for body and lens from Jessops! sorry price for 400d body only is £369.99 at EmpireDirect

	the problem i've got is EOS30d i can get for £400 with a 18-55mm lens. I also looked at the EOS400d and the body alone is costing me £430. Can't i use the 30d as a learner camera? or are the settings too advanced?

	I've just got the EOS400D to learn and fiddle with (also a beginner), seems an excellent piece of kit, not sure how long will take me to get the best out of it though :lol:
Scotty_B	posted on 9th Jan 08 at 22:22
	The 30D is pretty advanced for a beginner. Maybe the Canon 400D would be more what your after. It's an excellent body that would just require lens upgrades for what you need.:thumbs: of course the 30D is also excellent. However I'm a Nikon man and would buy the D200.

	been looking at the Canon EOS30D. Is it any good? Don't know much about SLR's really
