If you get the 300D (the model down from the newest 350D) then you can upgrade by downloading a small piece of software, that allows the 300D to get all the features canon never added to it... Its also about 200 dollars cheaper, and its a little more flexible with lenses, you can get as good macro shots with a £200 macro lense, than the 350D with a £400 macro lense....You don't need to aim for a camera with high megapixel reosultion, its lenses that get the beautiful shots...

Another option is the Nikon D70, Its a little more expensive, but very much worth the price.. I know alot of pro's who use that camera and produce some excellent shots...

You need to bare in mind of course that your only buying the body of the camera... No lenses etc come with it (mabye a cheapo crappy one) A decent macro or Landscape lense will set you back around 300-400 Dollars (US)...

A good place to go to is the Photography chat rooms on Deviant, Thats where i learnt everything I know about photography with SLR's...

This is a good site for Camera Reviews (http://www.dpreview.com)

this one comes with an 18-55mm lens, and it seems quite good, and no, the nikons i tried are too big and heavy, ive got wee hands

[Lesjordans]

Oh for gods sake, how can i convince the mother now? (non-technical) cuz she keeps goin on about how ive got a perfectly good one ther, but it aint a SLR

SLR is the only way to go if you're serious. Takes the best shots and it is closest to a real camera. I've always wanted one too. Not really good for taking pics with the friends though.

GET IT! it looks good for camera stuff plus its not overly huge like the other ones...the ones with the huge lens bits. plus if its cheaper than the one pixels told, then get it

[Lesjordans]

yeah but the mother wont let me get it till next year :S

[Nitrous]

hmm you got the money to buy it ya self? if ya do I say buy it anyway and then cross the other bridge when ya come to it lol... meh my mum doesn't think I should get the next gen consoles but she doesn't understand so I'll just go out and buy it anyway :D
