    Oh yeah, any DSLR is going to be amazing for a beginner. Being able to notice a cameras flaws and being able to say what you would like changed is a good sign that someone is starting to outgrow their first camera.

    Beware that day, cos it means you need to upgrade :)

    Quick question ; pixmania have the eos 1100d with the dc3 lens for €399, down from €549. Is this a better option than the camera with the IS2 lens for €439?

    Cormie, thanks for the amazon.de tip! I have my eye on the Canon 5D Mk II + 24-105. They have it for €2400! :)

    I went with the IS lens myself and it appears to be worth the bit extra. I don't think the dc3 lens has any image stabilization feature...

    No prob Kelly, IS lens is the way to go as far as I'm aware.

    Thanks - anyone else care to share their thoughts on this? It'll make the difference for me to purchase from Gunn's or Pixmania :)

    Cianos, Just saw this on adverts: http://www.adverts.ie/digital-cameras/canon-eos-1100d-18-55mm-lens/1214436


    As the deal I got came without a case or SD card, any recommendations on a good one to go for? I see there's a little bundle here for £27.82: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Olympus-Finepix-Panasonic-FZ50-FZ45/dp/B001OTLTZ6

    all seem to have decent reviews..
