Would this be your first proper camera (other than point and shoots) ? If so i'd advise getting something a little cheaper to start off with. Something like the Canon 1100D

I got a Nikon D3100 about a year ago - cost me Â£375 I think - as a starter SLR it is superb

Misread the title thread as Sin Cara, and was going to just say he's garbage, but it's obviously not about that, soooooo...

As you where...

Always found Cannon to be best camera makers, but it's all about opinions.

Canon and Nikon are both good. I shoot Canon, so I can only really offer opinions on that.

also look at some well looked after 2nd hand cameras suchs as the 40d

then look at lenses, ideally fixed aperture lenses (they do cost more), but they also hold their value better.

What do you want to photograph, that really affects what I would suggest you buy.

I've had SLR cameras for over 30 years and my one bit of advice for you would be to spend more money on your lenses to get the best results.

If you buy a basic canon body and spend that extra on the lens you will be impressed more by the results and hopefully if you enjoy photography and buy additional lenses you can then upgrade the body of the camera to a better one with more features and all your lenses will be compatible.

This is the camera I've got, I think it was the second in the range at the time I bought it. Â£275 quid now and with the right lenses you'll take fantastic photos.

I'm a member of a photography club and regulalry win internal competitions against people with Camera bodies with 10 X more worthless functions (and price tag) than mine

Ok thanks for the advice

My daughter paid a fortune for a Sony DSLR camera, which she hates. Personally I use a Canon bridge camera (SX30), because I don't use it for anything fancy. You get x30 zoom built in, and it's not as bulky as the full SLRs to lug around on holiday. Depends what you want to use it for I guess.

We've got a canon 350D pretty good, nice to have a digital camera that can catch dogs and kids before they dash out of shot
