Best price I have seen new is £299 from camaeraworld, incl 18-55mm kit lens. Very good camera. You could also look at Canon 400D for about £100 more, which is also excellent.

Re: nikon d50

Yes it's a good camera

I did see an excellent web deal, while looking for one for another member, but not sure if the deal is still running, will check + see if I can find it for you (can't remember who was running it) ...

Re: nikon d50

Hi billz,

You won't be dissapointed matey its a great camera, only had mine a short while ( charlotte put me onto it and gave me the lowdown) it handles well most controls come to hand nicely, super fast autofocus, great metering, nice viewfinder, I could go on I love it.....

D50 is a great camera.
Cashback offer on the D40 is still on. When I bought mine a couple of weeks ago I didn't realise they were running this promotion so I did the decent thing and didn't tell the missus and used the cash for other "necessities"
