Hi,
I’m totally newbie i used to take photos using only regular compact digital cameras but my friend showed me his Sony Nex5 and i’ve got to admit that i started research deeper into photography and this is moment where i would like to buy some dslr camera.

I would like to spend about 500-600 Euro.

Do You think one of those would be good for beginner and if then which would be the best? And what you think it better to buy camera with lenses or buy them separately?

That canon 500d is an excellent camera to start out with. The lens that comes with it isn’t great but for a beginner it’s fine. I’d recommend the canon over the others simply for the reason that if you get into photography a bit more then you have a much wider range of second hand gear available for the canon over the sony and olympus.
You mightn’t think this is important now but trust me, it is!!

You could pick up the same 500d for second hand either here or on adverts.ie for much less

I rather think about buying new one ’cause i would like to have warranty, do you think it’s good price for this Canon?? Do you know any other dslr’s which would be good for me for around 500-600 Euro?

Hi remindslr

I started shooting with a D3000 about 1½ years ago. And I love it to bits.
D3100 would be my recommendation, should last you for about 2-3 years before you are ready to move up.

Cameracentre got it with a 18-55 lens for € 399. Seems fair to me… And you even get a card and bag, then you are ready to go.

Everything om my flickr stream is made with the D3000 and starter lenses, this get you decently far.

Should you decide to add a longer lens, do get it used, waste of money to pay tops for glass before you reach the high end stuff.
Though do get the 35mm f/1.8 DX prime as soon as you can.

Well, I guess i’m a Nikon fanboy, and in my mind there is no other way to go. The used lens market for Nikon and Canon is much more accessible than any of the “new” players.
