Hi guy's, I need some advice on purchasing my next camera.
Traditionally I've always used digital compact cameras (the typical point and shoot sort) but I'm looking to get myself a DSLR because my photography is getting a bit more serious and I want to learn something new. The choice of camera's available is quite bewildering so I want to make sure I'm spending good money on good kit, so to speak.
I've got one preference - I've recently acquired quite a large collection of Canon-branded lens including wide angle, macro and telescopic lenses. They were all used on a SLR Canon camera and they use the 'bayonet' type of fitting.
Question 1: Can these lenses be fitted to the body of a new digital SLR camera?
Question 2: Can anyone recommend a good decent camera for sale in the UK. In terms of budget, I'd happily spend £400 and I'd consider spending more if required.
Thanks!
