I’m also daunted by the lens issues with DSLRs – if you buy a Canon, and want a good lens with anti shake you will pay a lot for a suitable one, as the cameras don’t have it in the body.

Cameras with anti-shake built into the body make for cheaper lenses, but by all accounts aren’t quite as good as the Canon system.

I feel i am walking into a big dark world when it comes to DSLR and i really do not have a lot of cash to throw at it, I am going to watch the market for a bit but still want to go DSLR by Airshow season, But obvoiusly that will mean the right lenses too.
