pentax aren't bad but I certainly wouldn't buy from argos,there are cheaper places than that..for that money you could get a nikon d80 or canon 400d..which are better cameras.

Don't get sucked in to package deals as most the lenses they bundle in are cra.p..go for the body only and get the lenses YOU want.Have a look here

Consider a Fuji S3 Pro, nkion fit and superb cameras (there are nikon bodies)

£400 will get you one on e-bay at present..... and no I'm not the person selling it I used to own two of the S2 pro's great bits of kit!!!

Just looked at how much these have dropped in price!! Certainly a good buy but the buffer is very sloooowwww..great images though,beaware that its a huge camera too but for the money well worth it.
