Best cam for my money Nikon d5000 ?? and where to buy.

[Colinevan]

Hi guys, a few good peeps on here that know there stuff so here goes. A few questions to pick your brains.

I bought a sony a300 last year with my ex, extra lens - tamron long range 8gb card , bag the whole lot for around £600 with warranty, started to use, got results i was happy with. However when i used the long lens, the colours n stuff seemed crap...... ANyways, we split up... No slr anymore lol.

Im now looking for one for me, and iv seen the Nikon D5000 from jessops.

http://www.jessops.com/online.store/...6137/Show.html Its not bad priced, has hd video capabilities, a moveable screen which would be a bonus for me, and overall seems a good piece of kit.

However there are no deals to be had at all, Jessops basically offered me a bag half price and that was it... Last time around i got loads of deals, free 8gb card, half price warranty, second lens for £100 etc ( even though it was crap ).

First of all is there any other cams to consider, im prob just gonna go for a std body and std lens, with a bag and card for the time being.

Is it worth me just buying the cam from then, and buying the card n bag elsewhere as they cant seem to do any discount ( maybe its time of year etc ) or i was asking the wrong person.

Is there any other shops to consider visiting in the Mancehster area. or places that you guys would reccommend.

Thanks

Col.
