    Hi Bak,
    You wont believe..! I can cut copy and paste the above message from you..!even im going to invest in my first slr and have decided to buy a canon1000d as it seems like a good one.I'm planning to order a new one online in jessops or www.warehouseexpress.com online..!
    Since it's our first it's good to buy a new one and then the len and other accessories we can get in e.bay! this is my personal suggestion!

    I would buy from ebay but be wary becuase if you buy from a seller outside the EU, you will be taxed. It would probably work out cheaper still but its something to keep in mind.

    Also make sure its a reputable seller with good feedback.

    I would go for 2nd hand, keep an eye on adverts/gumtree/buy and sell, you can pick up some good deals. No need to buy new so long as you get to test what you're buying first.

    Lads there's a few nice little 400d's on adverts at the moment at a steal of a price, it's what i started on last october and am still on and i can't fault the camera.Brilliant beginner camera.
