Hi everyone

Heard this is a excellent place to get sound advise on cameras.
I usually use a point and snap standard camera. so im new to the DSLR world.

im now working in a nightclub / concert environment and need help in choosing a perfect camera.

im also studying at university so there is a budget. i was told "dont get anything else but the canon eos 350D" by a friend. He said its the perfect DSLR for my needs. After looking into it with the lense, flash, card and body the total exceeds about £900. I would prefer to get something that takes that same quality photos but is maybe alittle cheaper. on the other hand if the canon eos 350D is so great i will be willing to scrape every penny together so i can invest in it.



i need camera to:
> take sharp photos in the nightclub / concert environment ( lasers, strobes, crowds)
> take excellent quality photos in everyday life, inside and outside.
> Easy to use (manually and automatic maybe)
> reliable
> value for money (good investment)


please advise me on the perfect camera for me...

thanks in advanced
