    This is at the edge of your budget and you can put another lens on it.

    Canon EOS 600D Digital SLR Camera kit with 18-55mm IS II Lens | Crazy Sales

    here is a review
    Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D Review: Digital Photography Review

    here is another option within your price range

    Canon EOS 1100D with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens Kit - Canon Cameras - DSLR Cameras - Digital Cameras | ValueBasket AU

    and here is a review

    Canon EOS 1100D - Photo Review

    Please note that the kit lenses will get you started and are probably as good as what you get on many of the non SLRs but the true joy of a quality lens can not compare with that obtained with the kit ones.

    I have a two 400D and have fallen out of what is the latest and greatest with these cameras now about 5 years behind the current releases. I still get from them what I need in a camera and have invested in lenses that I will use on other bodies should I ever see the need to get one.

    I think these days most of the SLRs also allow for movie modes, that is the only thing that I would currently look for although a GoPro would most likely fit that requirement in a smaller package.

    Most will advocate the brand they are familiar with, if you are really going into it big time, lens quality and variety is to be had in the big two Nikon and Canon. Nikon appears to have more professional users although sports photographers appear to use Canon a fair bit. After a while it is a bit like the Holden vs Ford choice. You invest money and time and people get comfortable with what they know.

    Good luck with your choice.

    I actually wouldn't mind seeing one or two pics. More so of outdoor sort of shots as apposed to indoor artistic stuff. (If that makes sense)

    I have been looking at the canon eos range that some of you guys mentioned. Have looked at them on jb hifi site. They look good, well priced, and seem to be what I'm looking for. Would love a vintage style one. My only problem is, I don't see what the difference is between all the numbers. The specifics seem to be the same, just the numbers in the name are different.

    Austravel,
    A couple of photos below...

    Mostly landscapes from my last trip to UK / Europe and a candid portrait. Hopefully nothing too artistic

    Links should open the uncompressed originals.

    All were taken using a D200 (10.2 megapixel) with 18-200mm VR lens.

    What's that green laser in one of the photos? That's cool.

    I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, a girlfriend of mine is a professional photograoher and she tells me go nikon. And she will most likely take me shopping for one.

    Have been looking at the nikon d5100. Anyone have one? Thoughts?

    Mate,

    check the link below

    Canon

    I just received mine today, excellent quality. This is my second purchase from them.

    The 50d I received had 9500 shutter actuation.

    Mate it with a good lens and you're a winner.

    L series lenses are excellent, but you could start with the bundle they offer, or get yourself a prime lens.

    Canon offers the 50mm 1.8II, a brilliant and cheap option.

    CANON EF 50mm f1.8 II LENS
