Not being a Nikon user, I can only suggest Canon, and the one I posted above. The Canon 350D. It's come right down now due to the 400D, 450D etc coming out. So check it out, see what you can find.

I mean, I still have it and pull off some great stuff...like:

But yes, still takes practice...just have to be interested enough...

emma - i have macro "filters" that screw on to my basic lenses to allow me some extra close-ups without having to spend packet on a dedicated macro lens. i've found they've let me have a play around with macro to see if 1. i'm any good at it and 2. i actually want to sink £300+ into a specialist lens.

kerry - the 1000D (Canon) seems to be a good little starter slr - bang up to date and great prices too....

 

[Pricey]

Aye, my L Glass Lens was £400.

Im that cheesed off ill be having another shot at it again in the morning and i didnt think before but ive got a tripod and i could set it up get it in the perfect angle then put in the food colouring and i could set it on the timer. Its having kids running around you it puts you off (well my excuse anyway lol).

 

[emma_27]

Kerry are you going to get a camera then?

 

[Pricey]

any websites i can look at the prices of these models guys?!

You can use

https://www.jessops.com/

https://www.ebay.co.uk

Would be the best, I'd prefer eBay, always a bundle deal around.

 

[leedsforever]

thanks guys...

bit wary of ebay as my sis got a little casio from there and it was clearly a counterfeit

ok so im very new to this... body?! is just the camera right? and what else would I need?

xx

 

[tiggertea]

jessops is usually uber-expensive tho. they conned me when i went in for my 350D..... i can't remember now exactly what happened but i remember being VERY cross....

 

[emma_27]

If it says just the body then you need the lens aswell.

Pricey just seen the pictures of you in action! I want a lens like that!

 

[leedsforever]

Kerry are you going to get a camera then?

gonna have to see ... may still have to wait for my birthday etc 5 months away!!

If I didnt owe so much I wouldnt be fussed in getting something on credit but need to be careful!! But then I think if it really takes off and i start doing pics for ppl and making a few quid on the side then its worth it

but its all ifs
