This will be my first digital SLR camera so I'm not currently tied to any brand and lenses.
I am looking at getting an entry level SLR, either the Nikon D40x or the Sony A100. Currently the A100 is £325 in Argos and the D40x is £383 in Dixons - £10(Jan10) - £40 cashback = £333.
The spec's are very similar for both but I have only managed to have a 'play' with the D40x. I have read reviews that are favorable of the A100 and it does look to be a bargain at the moment. I know the A200 is coming soon but I cant see how it would be of much benefit to me at the moment.
If you had to choose, Sony or Nikon what would you go for? there is only £8 between them. The Sony I can get first thing tomorrow, the Nikon would be about 5 days.....
I have a feeling impatience is getting the better of me!
