I went through the same dilemma recently when looking for a DLSR for the missus. I was initially going to go for a Cannon EOS1000D with the twin IS lens kit but after talking to a few people I was shown the Pentax Kx which is currently being done with a Sigma 18-125 lens for about $800.

I got really good assistance from teh fellows at Plaza Cameras in teh city.

Thanks for the advice guys. Time to hit the shops tonight then
sorry again Scary for crashing the thread

has anyone used mirrorless cameras like the Lumix GF2?
how is pic quality compare to a proper DSLR?
The size of DSLRs is what puts me off them

I have a Cannon 400d, great camera, paid $1500 for it and has taken some great pic. Came with 2 lenses. Will consider selling it if you want it mate as I don't really use it anymore, the Lumix is good enough for me nowadays.
