    Question Which (cheap) digital SLR for land use ?

    I currently have a Fuji F50 & housing but am thinking of getting an SLR for land use only , mainly for pictures of birds ,butterflies etc so fast moving objects & close up at times as well . Any suggestions or anybody got a cheap 2nd hand one ?

    Most/all even cheap bodies will do that - its the lens thats going to be important regardless of which SLR body you go for.

    Personally im very happy with my Canon 450D but pretty much anything will do that provided you choose the right glass.

    I got a Nikon D70s on eBay last week for £275. It would do the job.
