Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum so hello to all. I've wanted to get into photography for a while and finally took the plunge when i bought a Pana FZ18 2 weeks to take to Venice with me. Nice camera but noise is a big issue in low light shots which is one of the areas I'm interested in.

Was looking at the Nikon D40x but noticed it doesn't support bracketing and as I'd like to try HDR later on was wondering if this is essential? was wondering your views on a decent camera and lens kit for around the Ł500 mark, my interests are landscape and wildlife with scope for HDR later on when i get the software and talent. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Chris.
