Hi
I'm also thinking about treating myself to a DSLR
Looking at Sony A330 from Jessops, £399 - £60 cashback ( http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/76249/show.html?cm_re=210709-_-Home-_-DSLR_a330 )
Any opinions?

I would go to the shop and play with the different models. I personally didn't like the way the Sony felt in my mitts, although admit to having Nikon shaped hands

the link from amazon which I posted previously had been corrected the following day, now, I have found another link which is "to good to be true" though out of stock, do you guys think it's a misprice again...? http://www.very.co.uk/rf/vry/p.do/electricals/digital-cameras/nikon/camera-d90?groupId=627130769&Nu=this_product&SNtk=&Np=1&SN=154+4294955442+85+4294959630&Ntt=627130769&D=627130769&Ntk=group_search&Dx=mode%2bmatchall&thisprod=627130769&N=154+4294955442+85+4294959630&Nty=1&Mis_item_id=15&Mis_item_loc_id=1&product=627130769&selectedImg=A912P_SP722_32_PS01I.jpg

Have done - the Sony felt lighter to me, which is one reason it's one my shortlist.
The Nikon felt bulkier.

That's very good advice I was intending to buy a Canon but I found it uncomfortable to hold so I bought a Nikon. I actually bought it in the shop as I thought it was only fair after the good service they had given me. The price difference wasn’t that much and if everybody buys online in the end we won’t get the opportunity to play with different models.

Cameras rarely have offers on them as places like to offer items that are big like tvs,
