New to all this, so have just bought myself a Canon A430, because of the positive recommendations here (and from my other half) and on some of the other sites mentioned.
Cost me €165 inc. delivery from Pixmania. Didn't get the bundle, as we already have most of that stuff in the house.
My other half works in the photography business, and even given his contacts, was unable to source it any cheaper for me.
Cant wait till it arrives now so I can get snapping.
