A basic body and better lens is better than the other way round. Just buy the best gear you can afford. When you move into the DSLR's it becomes "the more you spend the better the gear". I don't believe there are shortcuts when it comes to quality cameras/lenses. Except for buying secondhand. Try this site... http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/
