First DSLR not much money

[Cloud]

Hey, i'm getting my first DSLR but i can't find some good ones that are around £200-£300, I may be willing to stretch it but I'm finding difficulty picking one, i was thinking of the Canon EOS 450d but it just seems a bit too much.
can anyone help?

There's not a lot of choice for under £300. There seems only 2 that you can consistently find, with a lens, for this price: the Sony Alpha 230, and Olympus E420. Of these the Olympus is very small but the Sony has built in image stabilisation and a good beginner-friendly user interface. I'd go into a shop and check both of them out.
