I bought the 350d from Jessops as it was local. I have nothing but praise for the camera it was well worth the upgrade from my 300d. The fire up time is excellent, the extra FPS are worth it especially for birds in flight. The extra pixels do make a difference even though its only a small amount over the 300d. My photo\'s have picked up a notch and I only changed the body nothing else. For anyone wandering whether to upgrade from the 300d but find the 20d just out of their reach you won\'t be disappointed.
