Hi Guys
I'm looking to purchase a DSLR to replace my Olympus C70. I want something that has good preset functionality and full auto mode but can also do full manual.
My budget is £400-£500 and I've been scouring Amazon, eBay, etc and I've narrowed it down to the following
Canon EOS 1100D with 18/55mm IS II lens kit
Canon EOS 600D with 18/55mm IS II lens kit (seen on eBay <£500 but US branded Rebel T3i)
Nikon D3100 or D3200 with 18/55mm VR lens
I mainly take pictures of the family, holidays, etc but I need something that will also do indoor sports and high speed outdoor like airshows (and hopefully a grand prix one of these days) better than what I've got currently. I want something that will last me 5+ years and can be easily upgraded one way or the other (body and/or lenses) if I end up down that road. I've also got a couple of young kids who can't keep their hands off stuff so it needs to be able to take a few knocks as well.
Any thoughts, recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
