Hi all,
I was talking to a friend at the weekend who is looking to buy their first DSLR and has asked me if I can recommend one. I personally use a canon but while I know a little about their kit I don't know a lot about the entry level DSLRs and I know next to nothing about Nikon gear.
Budget is £500 to £600, I would imagine that like most beginner's the photos will mostly be a mix of portrait and landscapes, possibly with a few close up shots thrown in so it would be nice to get a half decent walk around lens.
I'll be recomending they go with either a Canon or a Nikon, but with all the talk latey about Nikon being a bit technically better I'm swaying slightly in favour of them but which bodies and lenses are a good choice right now?
