Canon 450D seems to be the best bang for buck entry level SLR .... have a few friends with them and swear by them. Pretty sure Sled had one - PM him about what he loved about it.

Damo how much did you pay for yours? There is a Nikon D40 in Ebay currently without bids for $424 delivered in supposedly excellent condition - seems to cheap for a half decent SLR. I have always wanted a decent camera .... I might buy it if you think it is good value and a decent enough camera (I am a point and shoot camera noob so want something simple).

I have the Nikon D40, about a year ish old now, great entry level, awesome pics on auto, and not 5 billion adjustments like a 3000+ dollar DSLR. Feels good in the hands too.

The Nikon website says they are discontinued.

And the D60

Yeah they have been replaced, probably with similar models.

Andrew, yeah i rate mine for the occasional photographer, i think i paid around $600 for mine from Harvey Norman when they were clearing them out ready for the new models, and i thought that was cheap! They were around $1000RRP IIRC.

I had the Canon 350D..........they're up to a 550D now which is not a bad SLR (relatively compact for an SLR).

I've got a mid level camera now, the Nikon D90, which I'm pretty happy with..........the Nikon D3000 is also a good camera but you can't go wrong with any of the above.

and here i am stuck with a 400D lol.

somewhat tempted to f**k it off and buy a full frame camera.

I considered that before buying the D90 Dave but then you don't get the advantage of the zoom multiplier which is handy for my line of work.

Pros that tend to be more concerned with wide photography only, tend to go for full frame (I think)......but then you can always buy a fish-eye or wide specific lens if wide is your thang.

Yeah I may have had a few too many beers then way too many reds on Saturday night at the Sebel Playford .... but the Morton Bay Bug and Prawn entree was awesome, then the 220g GSM eye fillet steak that was encrusted with dijon mustard and smothered with smoked red wine jus was out of this world, and the icing on the cake was a 3 type of chocolate torte with fresh strawberries and strawberry juice glaze ;)

Today might be Tracy's last day of placement at Flinders Medical Centre! ;) She's been doing placement (work experience) for the final stage of her Nursing qualifications ... which means she doesn't get paid for 6 weeks! :bunny:

Now she can work at WCH again and get paid for it. My income has been paying for everything for the past 6 weeks! Now I can start saving up for shit again. The house extension and Tracy not working has been killing us. :)

My cousin is in a similar situation, already a registered nurse however shes been doing the Midwife upgrade course which entails having to do (x) amount of deliveries and they dont get paid for it. She only has 2 more to go thankfully, cause like you guys, her family could really deal with the extra cash (or paid work instead of unpaid work in other words)

Pretty rough really, hardly a surprise we don't have more nurses. What dept does Tracy work in at WCH ? Thats where my cousin is based...

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
