I figure best to get a good camera body and then over time you can spend on lens and other stuff when you can. If I buy too low then I'll be hard pressed to buy another body for a long time - sort of better to have too much than be upset that you didn't get enough when you could afford it.

You don't like the SDHC? I love 'em personally...

Digital SLR cameras

SD has not conquered the market for Digital SLR cameras. In this market CompactFlash remains the most popular format due to its historically lower price/capacity ratio, better read/write performance, and the availability of larger capacities.

As of 2007, however, an increasing number of models use SD/MMC/SDHC cards exclusively: Pentax's complete line since the 2004 *istDS; Nikon's 2005 D50, 2006 D40, 2006 D80, 2007 D40X, and 2008 Nikon D60; and most recently Canon's 2008 EOS 450D/Rebel XSi.

Several high-end professional DSLRs — notably Canon's EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark III — support both CompactFlash and SD for greater flexibility and storage capacity.
