Have finally managed to drop enough hints and the other half has said she will buy SLR camera for me.

Been looking around for a while and as its been years since I last used SLR I think starting new is the right term

As as always there is a budget I've got it down to I think two cameras.

Nikon D3100 with 18-55 VR Lens

or

Canon EOS 500D 18-55 Lens

Just wondering of those on here who seem to have the knack for photography which is the better camera?

Price wise they both fall in arond £450 which is the budget so ideal.

Thanks in advance
