ok guys after spending a bit of time looking at cameras.


i have decided i like the looks of this camera

Sony Alpha A200 Digital SLR Twin Lens Kit (XG3931) - Dick Smith Electronics - Australia.


anyone know where i can get a cheap camera. or anything in this rough price range that would compare with this camera. thanks alot

Haydz, wait a bit and buy the new Canon 500D, I am sure the kit will be around the $1100 Mark, but is basically a mini me of the 50D, has live view, new sensor, HD recording etc. Well worth the money.

I'm looking at getting the 450D twin lens kit for about $1400 so how can you get the 500D for $1100? What shop would you recommend? I was looking to buy around the end of financial year period to get it cheaper so maybe around the $1250 mark. Would you recommend the 450D as a starters camera?
