reccommendations for a budget dslr

[matt davidson]

Hey all, finally decided its about time i got myself a decent camera after struggling with my ancient compact. Problem is I'm on a fairly tight budget. Theres no way I can afford any of the latest models, however basic they are. What I'm after is recommendations for nice entry level models that i'll be able to pick up on the cheap, or even used. Im pretty much in the dark when it comes to cameras, so any advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

*Edit: Oh, forgot to say it'l be used a fair bit for tank photography, as well as everyday stuff.

Canon 350D. Couple years old, and can be picked up pretty cheap now. Or look at the Canon 1000D - New, but cheap

I've just brought my first slr and got a 1000d, and would highly recommend it. Its probably the cheapest new slr out there with a bit of searching mainly e-bay you can find them for around £300. But you could get and better model second hand if you'd prefer.
