Possibly should be in the Tutorial but more of you photographers look in here.
I’m considering the Canon 450D, versus Nikon D60.
All the reviews say it’s the best thing(s) on Gods earth so I’m after your horror stories.
Jessops have an offer on the 450 at the moment, a twin lens bundle for £635 (After you’ve claimed £45 back from Canon).
The offer is the cam plus Canon 18-55 plus a Tamron 70-300 plus a 4 gig card. They also offer a backpack bag (Sells at £45) with every SLR. So I’d get one with the Nikon too.
Now, I can’t find out exactly which Tamron lens it is, but I imagine it’s a bottom of the range stock type. Anyone know?
Warehouse express were £10 dearer but with no card and no bag.
Nikon however carry the pedigree. However, to match the quality of the Nikon pedigree, one must keep with Nikon lenses…this puts me off somewhat because the DSLR purchase blows a big hole in my pocket, I don’t want to be approaching Mrs Old Shape for a budget increase in a few months 🙂
What do you think chaps and chappesses?

Cheers, that threw me into 7dayshop and they matched Warehouse express.
So, it looks like nobody is beating Jessops at thr moment.

The Tamron zoom in the Jessops “bundle” is the 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD Macro, which is very good value for the money.
Personally I’d go with the Canon 450D and the Tamron zoom, but I’d shop around before handing my hard-earned over to Jessop.
And guess what? This does belong in the Tutorial forum.
Hang on to your hats!!! 😎
Cheers.
I’ve shopped around on the net, and the Jessie bundle seems the best (Of the big names websites).
There’s one other camera shop near me, I’ve yet to try them.
