Thank you guys, great info, just shopping around on line atm, trying to get a feel for what is available, so so much

OK tracked one of these down for a tad over $500

One of these for $540 - https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/canon-eos-700d-dslr-body-only/

or this https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/canon-eos-700d-18-55mm-55-250mm-is-ii-lens-kit/

My thinking is the kit, gives me some change for some extras etc and looks like ok quality, then invest in better quality lens's as required, thoughts?

Grantm, if you happy to buy "grey market", then I'd suggest DWI, and this particular kit:

As Jimbo14 rightly said, the glass is vital, and the one in the above kit is one of the newer releases for the APS-C (crop sensor) format, much lighter, covers a great general focal length, and is good with video.

To add to the mix, there's the D5300 from Nikon with WiFi and GPS tagging of your photo's. The D5300 body is considered an enthusiast level body rather than entry level:

I might be a little biased towards Nikon though  ;)

What is "Grey market" & DWI

BMux:
Well you were listing Kogan links, so I thought you might be happy with grey market imports.

It means the cameras are imported by these companies, not by Canon Australia or Nikon Australia. Your warranty would be with these companies directly. Canon AU or Nikon AU do not have to honour the warranty or may even refuse to repair it.

Actually, I think some of the stuff DWI (the links I posted above in my previous post) sells might be directly from Canon AU or Nikon AU, so best to check with them, you might get a good deal with a local warranty  :icon_thumleft:

ok yep got it, no not buying through Kogan, will buy from a local supplier, these are just first links that came up when searching
