Went and had another 'play' today. Think the 550d is the way forward. Thanks for all the help guys. :)

Failed to add, also looking at the 50d. :)

Just looking for opinions and for's and against's on these two camera's please. Also, if you think i should be looking at something else for the same money - feel free to point me in the right direction.

What memory cards do you use in this camera ? You'll have to bear with me as im so new to all this and have yet to pick up my camera. I have been looking at the Sandisk sdhc 4gb or 8gb, i think they are the Ultra II ones. Would either of these be ok ?

Hi everyone, gonna be taking my first step into Photography at the end of the week. Im going to be purchasing the Canon 450D - Which i hope to be very happy with. I would describe my Photographic skills at present as 'Gash' but i hope to remedy this as soon as i pick up my camera. So here's...
