Hi everyone,
new lad here, from the north east and looking to buy a digital slr, used to take a lot of pics at croft with my 2 trusty pentax,s( p30 and p30t) and a few cheap lenses, enjoyed it lots but it all got a bit expensive and other things in life took over( land rovers mainly).
So i,m in the market for a new slr, i have a lumix pocket camera but they are limited in performance, im drawn towards the conon eos 550d, it seams to punch well above its weight in performance for the money, i can get a decent deal at jessops, the camera body, a 18-55 dc lens and a canon 75-300 dc lens with the option of canon 50mm f/1.8 mk11 lens for an extra £50, making the whole lot just under £500, about what i have to spend.
Anyone tell me the pro,s and cons of this combo, should i wait untill after xmass untill the 2013 models come out and see if i can get a better deal ?.
Im not really any good at taking pics but enjoy it and want a decent, reliable easy(ish) to use camera, that can take a bit of punishment when i,m out off roadiing (1972 land rovers arnt known for there comfort !),
thanx
Dave
 
Hi, welcome to TP :wave:

I'm not a Canon shooter so can't really comment but you may get a better response in the Talk Equipment forum. I've asked the Mods to move the post for you.
 
Thanx for that, not to up on all this tinterweb malarky, thanx again,
Dave
