Best SLR digital camera?
I really want a Canon EOS 400D. Can anyone find a cheap one? I don’t mind if it’s second hand. I’m from France, but anything from the UK is fine : )
If not – can you recommend the best digital SLR for a good price? And when I say good price I mean under 300 pounds, or there abouts.
Thank you. 
The very best probably Hasselblad but they cost more than my car.
after that i all depends on what you are looking for but many photographers that were using canon are considering or changing to Nikon. The new expeed processing engine is one of the big reasons. I was reading an article in popular phototgraphy today and it said
“Yet even with noise reduction at its highest setting, the D700 serves up 1960 lines at ISO 25,600. For perspective, consider that, at its worst, the D700 comes within 100 lines of the 12.8MP Canon EOS 5D’s best resolution, 2025 lines at ISO 100″ thats pretty impressive low noise performance in anyones book . The D3 is also known for exceptionally low noise even at high ISO
So I would say Nikon and in your price range the D40. The D40 has a full manual mode, Flexible progam, aperature priority, shutter priority modes. These are the same modes on all DSLR. It also has several other programed modes for things like portrait, night, children etc. As a photographer improves and learnds to use metering better these additional modes seldom get used so they are usually found on the more amature cameras and seen as not needed on the professional cameras. I feel I have a fair amount of experience as a photographer and it performs well for me but I can give it to my 12 y/o grandson if set on program and he can get good usable pictures as well. His photography is improving as he is already learning to use many of the functions himself ( yes I’m a proud granpa) .
I also would not get caught up in the megapixel hype and instead look at the entire sensor issue. Look at the article I linked below The D40 will do everything a beginner to intermediate photographer needs at a great price. It comes with an 18-55 lens. It will let you use any other money to buy more accessories. And by the time you outgrow it cameras will have advanced to the point that most of what is on the market now would be obsolete. I bought a D300 last year and only had a it a few months when the D700 came out. The canon would also serve you well but I am a Nikon person so I suggest them. I have friends that are very happy with thier canon’s and take great photos. You will have others that like Pentax and Olympus and they are not bad cameras but if they were in the same ballpark you would see many more professional photographers use them
And thats just one good point about Nikon
