Im looking at getting a half decent digital camera, bit of an allrounder, nothing majorly expensive, any ideas of ones to get or what i should look for?
Macro would be good too ... !

You could go for a new nikon d40x or d40..£379 for the d40x or look out for a second hand d50 or d70s...should be within your budget easily.
Depends if you want a slr or point and shoot.

A digital slr enables you to change lenses whereas a point and shoot or compact has a fixed lens.

Not too worried about getting into the whole range of lenses thing, just a good camera with a decent optical zoom really ... and good macro facility .
