Mate, it's a where do you start scenario.

How far do you wat to go with photography for starters?

If it's mainly work with a few extra bits and bobs and it's not something you would take seriously as a past time, I would seriously recommend a bridge camera, something like a Fuji Finepix.

If you wanted to take it further, then there are some entry level DSLR Bundles to be had at not much more than you are stating.

I will be back in 10 mins with some details for you.
