Hey guys
Also would someone be able to recommend a good cheap DSLR to start off with?
Welcome to the forums. What would you consider as "cheap", throw us a price to work with
I dont think you can go too wrong with whatever camera you get. Its all about the knowing how to see and capture a good shot as well as the lenses.
$499 For a Nikon D3200 kit with lense:

$789 For a Nikon D5300 kit with lense:

All depends how serious you want to get into it. If you most likely will be using it as a point and shoot then get D3200 (Which is still a great camera regardless), if you are going to be playing with manual settings and spending hours on post-production then feel free to go D5300.
Im Using D5100 which was released before D5300, and can't fault it for my needs.
Hope this helps.
If only you lived in Sydney - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-c ... 1046891691
I'll have a look around Melbourne for you.
What ever you do, stay away from the 18-55mm kit lenses you will most likely be looking at and pick up a canon 50mm f1.4 if you can afford it - great lens. If not, a canon 50mm f1.8 or a 40mm pancake lens. Prime lenses are definitely better to learn on.
Edit: can't find any 60Ds cheap in Melbourne.

Aha, that Nikon vs Canon again. Here we go..
I hate to admit, but the choices in lens and camera from canon has been a bit poor lately. My 7d autofocus is showing a few faults already despite cleaning the AF sensor.
Just a harmless explorer. No need to waste taxes checking me

if you can find a 5100 they're pretty cheap and still around. i have a 5200 now, seems pretty good upgrade and as the 5300 has been out a while, the 5200 is a bit cheaper - only additional benefit of the 5300 is WiFi and GPS

I'm using the Nikon D3200 with the kit lens on a Manfrotto tripod
all up $600 new 10 months ago
Its an very user friendly camera with a 24 mega pixel sensor
and the tripod rocks for urbex stuff and it packs up small
check out the pics I've taken with it -- Pics
I have had it since January & have learned a lot about manual settings and long exposures
just shoot it
