I'd get the 350 with a 10-22.

For £600?

I'd probably go for a 350 with a Sigma 18-125mm

Edit to add: And if there was any money left I'd definitely but a Canon 50mm 1.8 prime

starting to lose me now. I'm just a noob when It comes to photography.

I like the canon because it's new and has a lot going for it. the nikon the same but cheaper but the 5d had the anti shake and a good lense.

also if i wen tfor any of these cameras where is the best place to geta wide angle lense ans what size/ fitment would I need. IE do I need a canon to fit he canon camera. and so on

Matt,

I posted a simlar topic a few weeks back www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=230275.

I am going with a D70s as mine is being funded by somebody else go with the D50 as excellent reviews in the mags!

Cheers
Matt

I'd get the d50 if your on that budget

OK - So Nikon and Canon DO have the DSLR market sewn up and
yes they probably make the 'best' high end DSLR cameras,
but if you don't/can't hold a camera steady at a commensurate
shutter speed/focal length combination,
then I think that the Anti Shake feature (of the K.M.mentioned ) will make
more difference to the technical quality of the picture
than anything else.

[poah]

wonder how if it compensates for panning though

Go for the 5d KM that is what I brought & don't regret it.
Few pics on www.pbase.com/tr7v8
Anti shake is brilliant hand hold at silly low speeds OK, don't
think that I'd have been better off with either Canon or nikon
& plenty of s/h KM lenses around 99% of which will work on the 5 or 7D.
All of mine did.
