Well depending on the feature set you need, eBay has plenty of second hand DSLR cameras for not very much money, or check out your local camera shop secondhand range. I recently got a Canon 450D for about 150 GBP. This was the oldest canon which still has live view mode (but not video recording). If you don't need live view you can get even older and cheaper canons.
