Nikon D70s is not as good as the 350D and more expensive.
Don't look at the sony alpha 100, it's shite and way overpriced IMO. It's just a rebranded (old model) Konica Minolta camera.
Also, if you want to get more serious later on, Canon has better lenses than Nikon.
I don't know about camera prices in the UK, but I can highly recommend the 350D.

You talk alot of thrash here m8...
Sony is not shite... and the 350D i NOT the best camera....
They are all good cameras and what you choose depends on preferences.
I would choose a Nikon D70s with the 18-70DX lens over the Canon 350D, this is down to lens quality, grip, colour balance and pure user friendlyness.
Megapixel is no indication of quality..
