Canon 1000D????

As a light user myself, the Canon 1000d suits my needs perfectly. I've had mine 3 years now & havn't found the need to upgrade the body. I've bought some more lenses though, a 55-250 & 50mm 1.8.

IMO it's an ideal camera for a beginner/light user.
 
I had my 1000D for 3 years plus and it served me well, cheap entry into the world of DSLR.
 
I've been using my girlfriends 1000D, its been a great introduction into the world of DSLRs and has allowed me to pick up the basics. Go for it
 
It probably does all you need a camera to do (IQ, controls, speed) but then again it may not!

What will you be using the camera for, what features and functionality do you need?

Not sure what price you have seen them for but a re-furb 1100D can be had for under £200 (if you need video or the extra 2MP)
 
James,
Notice you are asking about various options on different threads. The best bet maybe to just pick a camera and lens for £200 that you fancy and then get out there and use it for a while. Over thinking it won't change the fact that you are at the budget used end (which is where I live) and whatever camera you pick will do the job but won't be your dream camera
You will not get a camera that doesn't take good pictures and you will not get a camera that you cannot take sufficient control of (not in the DSLR market anyway)

DSLRs haven't changed that much over the last 8 or 10 years (higher ISO and video mainly) and you can take perfectly good pictures with an 8 year old 20D.
 
Chris,

That is all very true and thank you for all you advise!! To be honest I have been out of touch with photography for a number of years now and just trying to get my barings. Talking you guys has really helped!

Thanks again!
