cheers yeah the older nikons or out now,this is hard work,i have discounted the canon 30d as its hard to get and ebay I hate,I did look on ebay forit and even they seem short on them,so I (think I have narrowed it down to the canon 550d or the nikon d90,the prices seemabout the same,but he canon seems to be aimed lower down than the nikon?sorry for being a pain but its something I would like to get right,any more thoughts would be good

cheers guys,you will be pleased to hear I have ordered a camera so no more "what camera" questions,well at least from me,well what did a go for!!!! I did the unthinkable and bought from EBAY:eek: hope it's not a big mistake,I went for the canon 40D,cheers again,oh and feel free to say I've made a mistake :) fingers crossed!

Mistake? All depends on ebay! :eek: The Canon 40D itself is an excellent camera capable of superb results.

The Canon 40D! Madness? That's the worst camera ever made since Lomo went bust! You'll never make anything sharp, colourful, creative or original with that! You've done it wrong!

lol yeah yeah,well it did arrive today:D so went to the shops to get me a cf card and guess what,I got the wrong one:mad:,didn't relise there were different sizes,the one I got is tiny,so cant try it out now till tomorrow,heres hoping.

CF cards do not come in different physical sizes. Sounds like you probably bought an SD card instead. Reckon you can spend a bit of useful time carefully reading the Instruction Manual in the meantime!

yeah your right it was a sd card,got the manual in my hand as I type this,as you guessed its my first dslr.
