Hi guys. You may remember from the old thread that I was thinking of picking up a DSLR. I can get hold of a second-hand Canon EOS 450D with the standard 18-55mm lens included for around ?200 at a local shop. I'm tempted to get it to dip my feet in the water and see how I get on with a DSLR.
Now, obviously the 450D is four years old now, so I just wondered if I would be making too many sacrifices on image quality by buying an old camera such as this. The way I see it, the money I save on buying new will give me a budget to go out and buy a better lens if I get on with the camera.
So I suppose my question is: how would a 450D + a ?250-300 lens stack up in comparison to a new camera with a pack-in lens in the ?450-500 bracket?
