Thank you for that Brian. I had just about settled on the buying the 300D as my first DSLR, but still had some reservations. The 350D may just be what I have been looking for - decent quality and compact size and weight!

If you are interested Ian in a cheap DSLR, I have a contact who has around 90 20D bodies, for £860, a damn good bargain, given the body is £1149 at jessops, all legit, Have bought 1 for myself and a friend, all legit, been to his house and work place to collect cos gotta admit was bit suspicious but was totally sound, complete with Canon UK warranty card, software full as boxed and bought over the counter at any shop in the Uk. If your interested, just PM me.

Thanks for the offer Stuart. I haven't taken the step up to a DSLR yet due to the size/weight of them. The 20D has the specification I'd be happy with but is still heavier than I'd like. The 350D by the looks of it is heading in the right direction - provided it performs.

I do wonder though if Nikon have something in the pipline too?

A Link that compares 350D (also known as Rebel XT) vs 20D for those who were going to buy a 20D and maybe want to save some money by getting the 350D
