Bear in mind with the film cameras on ebay, a lot of people are bidding on the lens attached, rather than the camera! You're almost better off looking for a nice lens and treat the camera as a 'bonus'!

The P30t is lovely. Very simple, it's got manual control and Av. It's also indecently cheap - less than 10.00 if you are lucky. It doesn't attract the same premium as some of the others but it is a nice camera. If only the K-7 looked as good

I don't think you'll find a better camera for under 30.00!

Pm sent last night. If successful there'll be a k200d in the classifieds very soon. Or possibly a k20d if I change my mind! (Would be same price as I an able to pick up this camera in person).

Used price for the K10d should be around 250.00. I saw one in London camera exchange for about that. I would not expect the K200d to be much more although it is a newer camera. Mine cost 280.00 last June.

A K-mount hybrid might make sense as a real entry level camera if it was cheap enough. Having the same lens mount as the real DSLRs would be unique, although we're almost there with the Samsung NX system.

SRS has a DS for 199.00. (Edit- sorry missed your comment about older bodies). Also try a search of London camera exchange. Saw a K10 in their Bristol branch for 245.00

You've got most bases covered for general shots, to be honest! There's plenty of time to indulge in lens buying addiction when you've got used to the new camera - maybe you'll get into macros, or want something faster, or wider.

As the amount of 'news' goes up (blogs, tweets etc) the quality of writing, pictures etc goes down. It's the 'democratisation of the media'! I still see some good stuff when I flick through the Metro though.

I've obviously made a bit of a design error in the poll- there needs to be a 'neither' option so we can look at the results. Moderator help needed!
