I do like the convenience of a pocket point and press digital camera.

However, my sorry little Sony is looking a little beat up after years of ski trips, family holidays and artistic Caedes orientated activities.

I’d like to invest more in this photographic hobby, and move to a more serious piece of kit.

So, if I was looking to buy a DSLR, what make would you recommend for a body and a first lens?

What is a fair price to pay?

Any and all suggestions most welcome,
