any of the canon eos series. i have a 400d. freakin brilliant camera.

ebay cannon eos cameras see what prices you get determine a budget. btw a lot of the photo is determined with your lense.

I've got the canon 400d too - yep freakin awesome camera. Highly recommended.

You can go down to harvey moron's and buy the twin lense kit (will cover 95% of situations) for like $1300 now. hardly worth the ebay hassle.

+1 for the EOS 400D.  I've heard nasty things about the twin lens kit (ie. the 70-300mm lens ain't the best quality).  I bought a 28-135mm image-stabilised ultrasonic motor lens second hand off eBay for $400 - well worth the $.  These are about $700 new, and seems to work pretty well for almost every situation I've managed to throw at it.

Stick with the IXUS Brendan and save your money. You'll end up spending heaps on a digital SLR, and after a few months it'll end up gathering dust somewhere at home.
WOFTAM.

Unless you're really into photography, get an IXUS. They're compact and do pretty good shots for a dummy camera. Great thing is that they're small so u can just carry it in your pocket to parties n stuff like that unlike these stooges carrying huge-ass-mofo-look-at-my-canon-plebs smile

Brenda if you end up deciding spending your left testicle on an SLR doesn't really sound that fun I recommend this:
http://www.fujifilm.com.au/products/item.asp?id=2&sid=1&pid=58

Great quality pics and a full manual mode for when you want to have a fiddle.
If nothing else, you'll be able to figure out whether you have any photographic talent at all before you go spending a few thou on a DSLR :crazy:

You don't wanna go there, mate. Airbrushing + Photochop has a LOT to answer for.
