Would it be alright as a starter camera?

Anyone had good/bad experiences with them?

Thanks 

they are good cameras to learn with but if you want to use differant lens's flash etc you will feel it limits you after a yr ? look about for second hand nikon d50-70-40-60s

Yeah it is. 

I've slightly been converted now into looking for an old dslr, but I don't have too much to spend, so ill probly wait a while and have a look at all the options I have, Most lilly spend about £150 max.

i had this camera but had to sell it to feed the poor student. now i have the s1000 which as good as it is, i would prefer my old one as its pre settings made it much easier to use.

60 would be a bargain and for getting into photography you dont need anything more expensive, but hey if you find you love it then great you can get something better and yours should hold its price pretty well.

if you do get it let me know how it goes!!!!

ah lush!! cant wait to see you photos up here.....
