The UK has already had it's price cut. If you take away the 17.5% vat then the US/UK prices are petty much the same

This sounds way too much like publicity stunt. Don't believe it for one second

they're designed for commercial applications (eg advertising boards). The average person viewing one of these will be at least 10ft away so there's no need for a higher resolution

Ask Engadget: What's the best entry-level DSLR?

Yep, although you may think you want a DSLR, think first if you're prepared to lug it around everythere.
I used to have a Sony T1 which permanently lived in my pocket and i was constantly taking pictures.
Upgraded to a Canon 400D year and a half ago and i'm now taking far fewer pictures simply because it's a pain in the arse to take it with me everywhere.

Some of latest generation of consumer cameras are getting really good - nearing the quality of low end dslrs. Worth thinking about

Never used the pentax so couldn't say.
The advantage of canon and nikon cameras is that they have the biggest second hand lens markets.

I reckon the 17-40 is overkill if you're only just starting out - the new image stabalised kit lens is fantastic and covers the same range.

The 50mm 1.8 prime is a fantastic portrait lens and the biggest bargain in the world (first lens i brought for my camera) so is deff a must have

If he's got a bit of cash he'd be better off getting the 10-22mm for vacations as having the wide angle is great for scenery

Virtually no difference between the canon and nikon since cannon upgraded their kit lens. Both are excelent cameras

Main thing is how they feel in your hands. Go to a store and try them out - It's the only way to choose

Apparantly it's coming to the UK with the next software update. They're refusing to say when that'll actually happen tho :P

Ask Engadget: Subnote or full-sized laptop for university use?

^ this. But also get a nice 19" monitor for your dorm. When pulling an all night essay session nothing beats having a nice size monitor to work on.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
