Canon 1000D ?

Around £300. Or wait, save twice this much and get a 50d.

But remember, you can take a brilliant, publishable photo with the crappiest of cameras.

Don't believe the hype!

ive got a 1000d and i honestly wouldnt recommend it to anyone,if your gonna go for a dslr then its worth saving for a decent one. the g10 has lots of similar features plus video and its a more convenient size.

Yes, the g10 is a great camera, but the G11 is better - both camera are great tho. There is a article in photography magazine, i forget the name of it, i think it was amateur photographer, comparing them both. The G11 won but both are mint! :Cool :

d40 is big and doesn't take video

sony a230 takes minolta lenses which are good quality and cheap second hand, too bad sony's quality isn't good

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is what you want, excelent optics, 24mm wide angle is much wider than anything in p'n's class, excelent aperture again better than anything in p'n's: f=2,0-2,8 - for shallow depth of field photos (rider in focus-background blurred), shoots video even in HD

if i needed a second camera to carry around in my pocket i would deffo get that one, it has been on my radar since it was out

might be harder to find thou

i wouldnt get a sony just because lenses and flashes and accessories are expensive but cannons and nikons are good like a 450d or a d90 and some of the nikon dslrs have a video function (live view) which is good for taking out to take biking videos
