Venus Eye Trap (not Venus Fly Trap)...

Sorry, awful play on words, but you get the drift...

Looking on getting a Canon 1100D.

Should I or? I've been wanting one for ages but never got around to it.

1200D is out now... Much better.

I'm on a kinda tight budget though mate. Also It'd be my first proper camera. I remember reading/seeing that the 1100D is a sound beginner DSLR as well. The most I could spend would be around 250-300.

The 1100D is a fine beginners camera. If you can find one within your budget, you'd do greeat. Make sure you get a lens or two as well if you can - even in the 2nd hand market.

Would there be any use in me getting a 50mm f1.8?

What would you recommend mate?

the 1.8/50 is brilliant value, great little lens that. Tons better IQ than the standard kit lens, and f1.8 is magic!

I recommend getting a 600D. Much better camera than the 1100D. Here's one from a good UK seller, with the II lens (the III lens doesn't have the IS):

That, plus the nifty fifty, and you're rocking!

Word. +1 on the 600D if you can stretch to it.

you certainly can. Photography is a hugely-rewarding hobby (the girls love it). Much better than pissing up 300 quid in a month of drunken weekends in bars.
