    The Black Rebel Kit, Sandisk Ultra II card, UV Filter, and with tax came out to be $1250. Once I add my 70-200L f4 in the next month; that's another $606 from B&H.

    Mohammad... I am buying a DSLR this summer also. Which ever one I find the cheapest on Ebay I will buy. Rite now it looks like either b/w the 300D, and the D30. They tend to go from 400-700 on ebay, with the standard 18-55mm lens and accessories. Sometimes you can get a good deal for under 700!

    How much did the 350D + lens/es cost you guys?? I am thinking about moving up to a DSLR next summer, although i do not go spotting much. I still want to have the camera.

    350D is a great camera, you may have noticed from the number of uploads that I'm having great fun with it.

    All the rubbish about its too small, too light etc is just that rubbish. I know the 2020D is a better camera but its not worth the extra money.

    Anyway, back to deiting pics.

    See'ya

    Both the 300 and 350D are great cameras,

    300D
    [photoid=467173]

    350D
    [photoid=477812]

    Other than the lighting on the two, not really much or atleast that I can tell difference in quality.

    I love mine- has provided a lot of flexibility for my photography. You can shoot for hours on end with it too- around 600 shots w/o flash! :wow: I also highly reccomend the 70-200 f/4L. I'm going to get an extender for it, but the glass is very, very nice indeed!

    Now that you guys say all this, I think I'll go with the 350D + 70-200L f/4... but we'll see... maybe in the end the 20D... can't decide

    Thanks again!
    Good results can be gotten with either camera, and the 70-200 is superb. Also recommend the Canon 1.4x TC for the 70-200. Extends the range, and (at least in my pics) sacrifices virtually no quality, you do loose a stop of light though, but still, deffinetly worth it.

    Oh, and from what I've read, avoid the 20D. There seems to be a problem with the 20D coming with a nice layer of factory installed dust on its sensor. So far I haven't had any dust problems with my 350D.
    Great post! I'm tired of people telling people that the camera they want/can afford is not good and they need to go with the next model. I haven't had any dust problems at all with my 350D, and haven't heard any complaints of factory dust as I have heard the 20D users complain alot about. Remember; it's the photographer, not the camera!

    I have however, nothing drastic though, just my own stupidity..everything worked out fine of course!

    I've been using one since just after they were introduced and so far have been very happy with the results. I'm also using the 75-300mm IS lens and the only time pictures appear a bit soft is at 300mm but I've always been able to correct that with some sharpening and/or USM.

    If you're concerned about it being smaller than the 20D, don't be. I've found that I can hold the 350D just as easily as larger cameras. You can also get the battery grip if you want to make the 350D a bit "larger".

    I've had the 350D for a couple months now and love it. I don't care what the people say with the bigger 20Ds, this camera is worth every penny. I've used it with the kit lens, 16-55mm, 70-200mm f2.8, 135mm, and the 100-400L. Amazing camera if you don't have the money to go with the 20D.

    I bought myself a Canon 350D in the beginning of April. It's a great camera to start off with. I'm using the 18-55mm and the 75-300 USM IS lenses with it. I would definitely recommend it for now if you can't afford the extra $$$ for the 20D.

    I've had a 350D with the 24-85 USM and 75-300 IS USM for the last 5 weeks. Great camera and the lenses aren't too bad, the 75-300 IS tends to be a little soft but the results are acceptable.
