Well one thing u'll need for a sports shots is a quick shutter speed. A lot of the cheaper cameras don't have this.

Okay, I will spend the extra and go the Canon 400D, can anyone recommend a good place to get one, or should I stick to eBay.

Can get the camera and 2 lenses for about $1000.00 on ebay, 18-55mm lens and 75-300mm lens.

cheers

Ebay is cheapest. 75 - 300 is a shit lens, so avoid it if you're planning to upgrade. But if you only want it to learn with, it'll be fine.

Shop around, take a look at digitalrev - They are usually the fastest, cheapest and most reliable.

Good choice. I like 450D features, ie. Live View FTW! After playing for couple months, start to get L Lens (ie, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 70-200mm f/2.8, 16-35mm f/2.8L).

Very nice mate, I say to anyone thinking bout getting a camera and doing photography as a casual pastime, don't buy anything shit, because you'll regret it. 350D > onwards from Canon
