I had thought about the 500D, and the twin lense version but to be honest after all the research I've done I kind of have my heart set on the Canon 550D but it keeps changing price so I'm leaving it for the time being to see what happens with it.

I've ruled out the 1100D, the D3100 and at the moment the 500D. I'd considered getting one of the Micro Four Thirds from the Panasonic range but I know I wouldn't be happy with them. Just personal thing's that have made me rule them out.

I'd started to think I might even wait that bit longer for the 600D to come down in price as the rotating screen would defintely be a good addition.

One of the thing's that had orginally drawn me to the KR was ISO performance, for which is was regarderd as really quite good. However the 550D also does pretty well, another plus for me to buy the Canon in fact.

I really would like to delve into dSLR photography ASAP but with the varying prices I think I'm going to have to take a step back and see how the pricing changes, but also go back into the shops and try them out again for an even longer period.”

Just a tip on the Panasonic Lumix range - if you're going to do any photography of fast moving objects (sports etc) then I found them really lacking in that area. I bought because of the small size, but ended up going back to Canon because I needed the camera to be able to handle bikes, cars etc flying round a track very quickly, and the Lumix missed the shot pretty much every time.
