Advice needed about cameras

Hey, that's not fair You can get good quality out of $1000, you're just a little limited in certain areas... 1000D twin lens kit would cover most situations anyway, sure there are higher quality options for more cash, but that's how it is with everything in life. There's always a step up if you've got the cash.

Nothing wrong with the 1000d, as long as it is fronted with decent glass. That was my point

have you thought of used sedmak? get lots of bits you wont get with new like a bad, memory cards etc.

Only issue with used is not knowing the history. Many people do not know how to check actuations etc. Better off spending a little more and buying new just for safety.

Meh, even the kit 18-55 on the 1000D will take pictures that will slaughter just about any P&S on the market. If I was spending $1000 I'd get either a 1000D twin lens kit, or a 500D with just the 18-55. If the bug bites you can spurge on some L glass down the track.

Cannon 1000d or 550d if you can spend a bit more

My vote also goes for the Canon 1000D twin lens kit. Quality that will smash anything from a P&S camera and enough modes for you to play around with should you want to experiment.
