Waiting awhile before purchasing a digital camera was a very smart thing to do. Bummer for my Nikon pal who told me to do it, because it's Canon that's leapt to the forefront. I'm geeking out today.

My wife recently confiscated my Canon A60 and said that if I wanted a camera I should buy a replacement. I've been drooling over the digital SLRs for years, but I wonder if they're beyond my needs. Wait... who am I kidding? They're WAY beyond my needs... if for no reason other than I don't know an f-stop from an ISO setting. That Rebel XT sure looks like a nice camera though...wow.

I'm glad I recently passed up an opportunity to buy a 300D. This looks to be a somewhat marginal improvement over the 300D but enough to bring it up to par with the Nikon D70. The only reason I'd consider going for a D70 or even a used 10D over the 350D is the lack of a top LCD and second dial on the 350D. I've read some comments about the small size and weight possibly being a problem with larger lenses, but as an amateur photographer, I doubt that would be of any concert to me.

You may have seen this offer already but deals like this make it tempting to spend the extra $300 and get the 20D rather than the 350D:
