Hi,

I'm looking to buy a mid-range SLR digital camera, are there any pitfalls I
should be aware of?

Also, I'm looking at zoom lenses to go with it, how do I work out what
magnification they are, eg 5x, 10x etc? For instance, this lens:

http://shop.panasonic.co.uk/invt/hfs045200e

says "90 to 400 mm (35 mm equivalent)" and "Maximum magnification: Approx.
0.19x / 0.38x (35mm film camera equivalent)
". Can anyone tell me what this equates to? I'd preferably prefer to buy a
camera package with a separate zoom lens, any recommendations for decent
UK-based sites or shops? I'm currently looking at the Pixmania site.

Thanks for any help.
