Any reason why you couldn't get a secondhand more powerful camera for the same cost, or one with lots of extras?

Beware, I was tempted by this until I noticed it didn't have optical image stabilisation

Point in the right direction, and I could be tempted!

It's only an entry level kit. To get Image Stabilisation in Canon world you need the correct type of glass.  :happy2:

Is image stabilisation important, or would fitting the camera to a tripod help?

Also this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-UK-PENTAX-Kr-K-r-DSLR-CAMERA-TWIN-LENS-KIT-18-55mm-50-200mm-BRAND-NEW-/290682160159?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item43ae01c41f - not sure if it has image stabilisation?
