    Id pick one or the other.. :) Decide which one you think you would rather and go with it.. Its only going to be more money to try the two.

    How high would you're budget be?

    Well, €600 up is my territory, that kinda stuff?

    yeah im gonna get a picture camera only, i just found this one while browsing around http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/2425921/art/nikon/coolpix-p90.html its not an slr camera, i dont even no what the difference is? but its got a load of features, 24x zoom, wideangle, 15fps burst shot and its only €400!, i thinks its the one, unless anybody knows better, should i keep searching for an slr? (what is the difference?)

    That actually looks pretty nice, the difference between the two would be a SLR would be able to use different lenses. I would say if you could pick up a 2nd hand SLR from adverts.ie I would go for that!

    At least thats what I would do!

    If not that the Nikon D40 is a god send for skate photography, the VX of the photography world.

    GET IT!


    In terms of video camera's, if you're still interested, you're best best on a low budget would be a second hand OLD MODEL Sony VX1000/2000 or a Sony PD150, found a great deal a while back which i'd love to pick up, but i'm not in the money right now, it sold for over a grand, but it could have went for a lot less, depends on who see's it like.

    Was on Ebay, a PD150, thought it would go for about €600 at one stage, but after a like two days of no bids, a few people went mad on it.
