Well thanks to all who have taken the time to help out a real newbie. I will take all comments on board and try to find one I feel comfortable with. Thanks to all again

Hi, I'm looking to get my first dslr camera. I have always just had cheap point and shoot cameras in the past so will need one with a lens but dont want to spend loads of money. I was thinking around £250-300 for an entry level camera. Any suggestions greatly appreciated
