What are the best dslr cameras which are under £450?

I am an amateur photographer which explains the low budget.

Also, would you say it is better to get Nikon/Canon over all the other brands due to lenses?
and what do you think of the Canon EOS 450d?

Thanks!

hey , i would recommended the Canon 500d i think ur budget can cover it , the 450d are good too and if u can ask about the price of the Nikon D5000 its not that far from ur budget , other than that i really still enjoy my old Nikon D40 which is so cheap around the £ 250 and still work superb, any one from them u wont regret really
hope u find this useful

There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP (MP means mega pixel) will do just fine.

Below, I listed some links where you can look up reviews and see what camera works best for you. The first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 4 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has link to reviews to 3 of the 4 cameras, the reviews includes sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.

Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:

Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR 10 MP with 18-55mm Lens - $429
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $449
EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550

Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Ask if yourself what you need of the camera, like good high ISO ability which is important in low light, do you want the camera to be capable of doing video, and other features to consider.

Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am a Nikon fan and will admit that at least some Canon cameras are ok. However, I have discovered the Olympus E420 at the local WallyWorld at $400. dpreview.com gives it a good rating. Found the same camera for £400 at amazon.uk. You might want to shop around.

The D5000 DSLR is a model with features more than the D60 but not as many as the D90. Nikon seems to have created the D5000 to go head-to-head with Canon's EOS 500D.
