oh and to Cinaber, i got mine from JB hifi, i did some haggeling and got it reduced with a tripod, 16gb card, bag etc etc so i saved around $300 from going there were as camera house barely helped me at all with advice and wanted a lot more for it.. Oh and that was with a 2 lense kit (even though the kit lenses arnt best quality they still are good to get started with).

hope this helps
