My new camera dreams may become a reality sooner than I thought
Probably before the month is over.
Still lots of umming and arring over what I should go for...
The Panasonic GF1 is a little too far out of reach price wise (I'd want the pancake lens so the cost is very ouchy).
Been looking at Canon 450d (
Current favourite at £469 with a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens) and Nikon D5000 (
Good odds £479 with a 18-55mm VR Lens)mostly, not a lot between them apart from the D5000 does 720p Video and has a fancy LCD back panel. These cameras would be at the budget limit so any extras like prime lenses would have to be bought further down the line.
Or...
I could go for the entry level Nikon D3000 (
Outside bet at £349 with a 18-55mm VR Lens) and have money left over for a prime lens, beefy memory card, bag etc. (
Also ran The entry level Canon 1000d doesn't come with an image stabilised lens so I've ruled that out). The only thing with going down this route is would I regret not getting the best camera I could afford at the time.
Help me Hive mind photo spods, you're my only hope.
