i thin kit will still be in the new year that i will end up getting it, as the Ģ12/15 increase in the cost doesn't boter me too much, and i am hopefull of being able to get some deals with more than the Ģ15 off in the sales after xmas.....i hope anyway!!

The kit lens on either the Nikon or Canon will be ample to get you going.
When you first get the camera you really just want to get out there and shoot, learn how to frame and compose shots.
Then you can build up learning what the camera can do.
Flymo - Kit lensīs on the Canon are known to be okish but not the best out there, you quickly learn what the limitations of your lensīs are and discover what sort of photographer you are.
If you are someone who likes taking landscape photos then your kit will go towards the wider lensīs if you are like myself who likes taking up close photos of the pretty flowers then you will go more the macro lens route. First though you have to find out what sort you are and what you enjoy taking photos of.
Thom Hogan (pretty decent Nikon photographer
) said of the Sony that they make good electrical appliances not great cameras.
