Canon 400d
Should I get it or shouldn't I?
Looking at upgrading after getting my 6 week late birthday present(money) off my gran
, I have a 300d just now.
She gave me £1000, But don't want to spend it all on a camera, Want to get a couple/few lenses etc too
So should I get it just now or wait and get the 450d(or something else) in a few months?
(she has just sold her house and decided since it was my 18th and my bro's 21st (his is 2 days after mine) to give us more than usual.... I was
to say the least)

There's about £100 difference between 400 and 450d, if it's worth and extra £100 to you then I'd say get the 450, otherwise the 400 is great as well 
I'd recommend against getting the kit lens tho - I am not keen on the Canon kit lens.
Let us know how you get on!

Another option (if it's Canon you're after) would be the 40D.
It's a bigger, heavier camera which might not be what you want but with the cashback deal running to the end of the June it's a good deal.

The 450D is out now. I had the 400D and it was a great camera, can fully recommend it.
