I did look at the Nikon D3000, but it didn't have video on it, so I discounted it, I was looking at the Nikon D3100 and Canon 500d (I liked the Canon 550d, but it was just a bit too pricey), I got a Canon 500d in the end for 380 pounds incl postage, I had set a limit of 350 pounds and you can pick up a Nikon D3100 or Canon 500d for that, but the 1 I bought was hardly used.

Sounds like you got a bargain, good on you

I wouldn't be too fussed on no video on the D3000 as I have a compact Lumix that shoots HD and also I have the Kodak zx1 about the size of a mobile phone which records hi def so on the DSLR I'd be ok without it.

I am tempted by the one at Argos, if I can sell my S9600 I might go for it, trouble is second hand the 9600 is selling for £150 plus, if I can sell it for £120 then I'd let it go and head over to argos
