As today was rainy (again) I decided to go and play with a new 350D at Best Buy. I took some shots. They are resized and one is original, straight from the camera. Enjoy. Note: no PS used. Minor cropping however.
Two Rebel's side by side. Shot with a 20D.

Now onto my evaluation. 8mp is sweet. Real silky. There is a difference between 6mp and 8mp. The amount of modes are sweet, and work as advertised. Engineered technically well. However, physically it sucks. Bad. The grip is tiny. I mean, my hands aren't all that big, but there was no where for my fingers to go. And the grip bent in at the bottom. Really not ergonomic. I prefer the originals grip. If Canon had kept a BP-511 in, the grip would probably work out. But they didn't. So it's a pansy grip. I like to heft my 300D around with the grip but I wouldn't dare with this grip, there isn't anything to hold onto. Like if you toss L glass on it, it would just be screwed up. great camera, bad grip. I also played with a 20D and that is probably where my money will go. Grip is good. weight is good. Focusing is magic. And 8mp is oh so sweet.
