CHEAP DSLR CAMERAS?!

I just sold my Olympus E500 + 17.5-45mm lens, For 100 quid second hand :(.

omggggggggggg :{ any otgher suggestions peepz?

any more suggestions :{

Save up more money or look for a used one on eBay. That's all I can suggest.

There's not really such a thing as a cheap D-SLR. They're expensive by nature.

i paid 800 for mine so yano
theres no cheap ones out there (n) x

ok thanks guys :D

You'd be lucky to find a fully-featured camera package for less than £300. Look into second hand Canon's or maybe Sony's. eBay have a lot of cut-throat priced Nikon's which you could snap up if you're fast, but if you're on that budget I'd recommend a Canon secondhander.
Hope that's helped :)

EDIT: Don't get an Olympus. They're just a digital camera in the body of a SLR.

I wouldn't recommend buying "glass" or cameras from eBay, well, second hand. I'm just saying this because you can't always guarantee the optics quality.. but if their feedback seems positive, then fair enough.

Remember whilst you're having a look at DSLRS, be sure to look at the prices of the accessories, and cross compatibility. I mean I have a Sony, and about, 6 or 7 lenses I think. All except one are old M42 screw ins and so I bought an adapter and I'm able to use them on my new DSLR. :) I mean, I know for example, my Sony can take ol' minolta AF lenses because of the twist fit.

Good luck, I'd recommend grabbing a Nikon D40 if you can find them, not sure if that's their entry level DSLR anymore... :)

I have to say to you now that I don't think you're right with that. If a seller has a 100% feedback rating and looks legit, then they very possibly will be in the exact, as new quality which they were specified as.
My dad got a Canon EOS something (mid-entry level) for £300, with 2 lenses and all the cases and accessories.
To an extent I agree with you though, sometimes they're not precisely what they say they should be, but for the most part he should be fine if he eBay's from a reputable (100%) seller.

Another option you could explore is purchasing from a second-hand camera store? I recommend London Camera Exchange, I have one of those in my local shopping area and they have some dead nice Canon's at around your price bracket.

That's why I said but if they have good feedback then fair enough:)
