DSLR under £300

[MiloXC3]

I'm knew to this forum and understand you've probably all seen similar threads, but would really appreciate the help and advice, so if you have any, please comment!

I'm looking for a DSLR for under £300.

I would like it to have very good quality HD filming and a high fps if possible for slow motion clips.
I would also like it to be able to take clear shots of moving objects outdoors (mountain biking).
It must have all the basic DSLR tools and fuctions too, e.g. a view finder.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I've already been suggested the FujiFilm HS10 for it's great filming and ability to play back in slow-mo, but apparently the rest isn't too good.

I cannot give advice on pricing, since I am in Canada. However, the Fuji is not an SLR camera. Sounds more like your main focus is video and not photos.

Second-hand might be your best route. I can't see you getting a new one under 300 quid.

Amazon have some used stuff here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&k...l_12naon2lsg_b

What about a used D40 or D3000 and the 50mm or 18-55mm VR would be under £300 easily - however you're unlikely to get one that can shoot HD video for £300

Like Marcus said, you're not going to find an SLR that doesn HD video for less than £300. Even less likely if you want a lens to go with it.

As Don said, it's not an SLR and there's nothing wrong with it. I would suggest you consider the HS10 along with a camera like the Canon SX130 IS.

Dont even think the D5000 is coming in that cheap used - think they are holding around £350 - The HS10 doesnt have a proper viewfinder anyway - it has an electronic viewfinder.....
