think about £500-£550 might be my limit atm - can get the d40 with lens (+ extra lens) bad card and flash for about £512

Carpo - I created a new thread for you. With all due respect it's on the opposite end of what I am looking for so wanted to keep them seperate, thanks.
Yeah, definitely a Canon over the Nikon. Canon's entry level DSLRs are superior to the Nikon entry level. I have used the XT, XTI and currently I own the 40D. For your range, I would suggest the XTI. Pick up the 50mm f/1.8 lens also. It's around $80 USD, but takes amazing portrait shots.
The kit 18-55mm lens is decent, nothing to rave over... but photography isn't the equipment you use, it's your eye and your knowledge of what you are doing.
