SLR digital camera recommendations

RaiderHammer · 2011-05-30 18:00:08

Looking for an entry level SLR digital camera. Any recomendations of what would be good at entry level and where is the best place to buy (Essex / London based) high street, on line? What lenes are good to start with? Are all SLR's auto focus these days? Would an old lens still fit new bodies? Say 30 years old? Thanks.

If you are looking primarily to take action shots then the Nikon is probably better. If you are after portraits and static items then the Cannon is probably better.

Go to a local shop and try both to see how they feel and how easy for you the controls are.
