I would suggest buying secondhand - you get a lot more camera for the money. Be careful to get a fairly good example of the model you want. With Canon xxxD is a consumer camera, xxD is prosumer (hate that word) and xD is professional. As you go up the levels they have more features and are better constructed, with metal bodies and often weather sealing. 500 pounds will easily buy you a good xxD body like a 30d with kit lens or a larger zoom. Ffordes photographic is a good supplier that I can recommend but there are countless others.
