well after a few weeks of considering buying a dslr, i went into jessops on saturday and took a look at a few they had on offer, i had never really picked one up and had a play before but i have to say i was quite amazed, particularly at the speed of them, just no comparison to my panny FZ20, anyway in the end i went for the nikon D50 with the 18-55mm kit lens, mainly because i liked the way it felt in my hands grip etc, and from reading quite a bit on here theres not a great deal to chose between the D50 and the canon 350D, so i went back to jessops and picked it up today after getting the currys code from somewhere else on here they priced matched for me and i picked it up for £363.80 the best deal i had seen on the web, so the battery is on charge as i write.
so now i guess the expense begins with the lenses what do i intially go for ? well i'm looking for a good allround lens to start, i looked at 2 in jessops the tamron 70-300mm with macro and sigma 70-300mm with macro, both £99.99 at the moment, the sales guy in jessops said he went for sigma lenses as they seemed more sturdier, but he did say this was a personal preference, so any thoughts and advice you guys might have would be much appreciated.
cheers
