no experience of that particular camera, but you want to get a bigger lens than that.
14-42 just won't cut it...
Ideal world you want 18-200 but they are tad pricey.
I have a Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm, that does the job for most situations.

It comes with 2 lenses! 14-42mm and a 40-150mm :y
I was also looking at a Nikon D60 too (same price)

I'm on the lookout for a Sony Alpha seies DSLR to replace my old Minolta Dynax 700si SLR 35mm as the lens mounts are the same and I can use my collection of lenses :y
Looks good,
but what level of photograpy you wanting to go to?
For a lot less money you can get a "bridge" camera, basicly the funtions of a SLR but with a fixed lens.
Have a look on the Talk Photograpy forums, there a big help, it's where I went before getting my gear
Well i took my pictures today with a camera that cost less that £80 and i think they look great, maybe not what you would want if you did it for a job but plenty good enough for what i want :y
If you are going for a DSLR, I would save a few extra pennies and get a Canon or Nikon, you then have the biggest possible selection of lenses and accessories, which you may not get so much with one of the smaller brands.
Ive got a canon one, bit old now, but have absolultly no desire to swap it.
I like a DSLR and a Super compact, cover all bases then.
Before that had a prosumer, or bridge camera, which was very good, but I outgrew it.

Jon's right.Was going to get a Canon,but was talked into getting cheaper because I was only using it for basic photography.Got a Fuji s8000fd,and it's fantastic.Loads of programmes,everything I need really.costs 199.excellent value.
I've been thinking about getting an SLR for ages now, and I think i've found one which should be ok!
Just wondered what you chaps thought about this, and its value for money etc...
Its an Olympus e510

I Dunno! I keep trying to take photos with my digi cam, and its just not having it! (its 8 years old! only 3.1mp, with a 28-84mm lens!) Today I was at an Autograss meet, and the photos are rubbish! Tried a load of different settings, but still no joy.
I'm enjoy taking photos, and need something thats going to last a few years, and something that works well in low light, just love night shots!
Last day I had my GSi on the road, I went and took some night shots of it outside York Minster... or should I say 'Attempted'. Took a boat load of photos, and this was the best one :-[ :

Still got an OM1n with a 28mm F2.8 lens in my bag for landscapes. It takes damn good pictures. But it also gets in my way a whole lot more than my Nikon D80 does.QuoteI've been thinking about getting an SLR for ages now, and I think i've found one which should be ok!

Nearly bought one of these (or it's predecessor) last year - couldn't afford it in the end. I've been using Olympus SLR film cameras for over 30 years, and my wife has a 4 year old Olympus 4mp compact digital which takes better pictures than my 8mp Fuji which is less than a year old.
Can't go wrong with Olympus.

Those old Zuiko lenses are fantastic, it has to be said. Shame the 4/3 system doesn't take them.
