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...

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
