Have digital SLR's come down in price a lot recently? I thought they were about £800.

There are multiple SLR's around, this is Nikons entry range level DSLR.
But still pretty good to use and learn with.

Thanks for the info, I bought a bridge camera a few years ago for this price. Just a bit surprised they are now so low.

DSLRs have been coming down in price for a long time now, there are sub-£500 RRP DSLRs dating back almost a decade and maybe earlier (the earliest example I could find was the Nikon D40 from late 2006, but there may well be even earlier models).

Really? I'v seen these prices for a good few years as standard, especially entry level DLSR's. Maybe you just noticed recently because you are looking at online retailers and other specialist retailers rather than your typical high street shop.
D5300 can be hard for £100 or so more or the Canon 700D.

I'd get the D5300 from HDEW, might be a grey import but their customer service is excellent and there's a 3 year warranty on the camera body and you can get a full kit for £60 or so more than this deal.

Anyone got recommendation for a brilliant first DSLR for under £500, shooting mostly landscapes (travelling), blogging, night time and food. thanks! I was suggested Nikon P900 or Canon 700D/7D.

For a first DSLR this would be ideal, the Nikon P900 is a bridge camera with a much smaller sensor, you would get much better image quality from the D3300, especially for night time shots.

The P900 is not a DSLR, it's a bridge/superzoom which isn't near the same calibre as a DSLR. On the other end of the spectrum, the 7D is an action-focussed camera where a lot of the top features aren't of any use for landscape photography.
For £500 I would personally go for a Canon 100D kit (a "kit" typically refers to a DSLR with 18-55mm lens) for around £320 and a Canon 10-18mm lens for £180. The 100D with kit lens will be great for most usage situations, while the addition of a high quality ultra-wide lens makes it awesome for landscapes.

my daughter is doing a level photography she was a total novice she has a Nikon d3200 from a previous offer photos she is now taking are stunning very good for entry level camera. do invest in a lens she has a 18-300mm and si great when she is out and about. stay away from bridge cameras you will regret it in the end.

An added bonus with Nikon - the bayonet mount is substantially the same as the old 35mm kit, and whilst they probably won't do "smart" stuff like vibration reduction, auto exposure and focus, they still work fine in manual mode - I have D3100 and D3200 bodies, and have used "steam powered" lenses on both - really can't justify the purchase of another right now, but even for quite experienced photographers, Nikon's so-called "entry level" models are very very good.
(Canon and Sony/Minolta are similarly backwards compatible, Olympus, however, aren't, which is why I have an attic full of virtually useless paperweights!)
Voted hot, although I won't be buying one.

This looks very good advice given the budget of £500 and the types of pictures Adzy89 mentions wanting to take. The Canon 10-18mm would be great for really panoramic landscape shots, and costs about half the amount of the nearest equivalent.

I'm missing something? the same camera was £279.00 at John Lewis about 10 days ago

The accessory kit makes up the rest of the value. The bag runs for about a tenner, a decent UV filter (which Jessop's usually are) will cost £15ish, a 16GB class 10 SDHC will cost £8-£10 from a reliable brand, and I don't know how much the screen protectors are worth but I strongly doubt it's remotely close to the £112 Jessops charge for them on their own. It's nothing spectacular, but for beginners who are likely to purchase these fairly standard fare accessories anyway, it's not a bad offer.

Yes, it's was cheaper around xmas. £279 with £30 Nikon cashback, so only £249 then. It seems to have gone up a bit since The accessories add value
