I just got myself a canon 300d, love it. I always wanted a SLR and with the digital, its a bonus.

It is a trade up from the sony digital I have been using for the past 4 years with no zoom, and flexibility of zoom over my existing film camera.

I am planning to take it to the brisbane motor show when I get time. It should be fun to see what it is like.

Yeh but does it take excellent photos? And does it have the Carl Zeiss lens?

Was it a grey import? Sounds awsome for AU$700

I havent keep up to date with the lastest digital cameras, and no doubt theres many to choose from. Having said that I bought a Nikon coolpix 950 many years ago, although its only 2.1 megapixels it still blows some cameras away for pic quality. I also love the swivel lens, I can hold it over my head and the crowd and see the image in the cdd and take pics with out even being able to see the track/subject. Anyhow you prolly want someting much more advanced, my sugesstion is look for a cam with interchangeable lenses and a Quality brand cause when I bough mine nothin held up to the pic quality of my 950 even some with more pixels.

Go Nikon if they have an option to suit your requirment / budget is my suggestion.

No that's what the wife is for....lol.

<ducks for cover> :hrmm:

Yes it does take a brilliant photo for what it is, a dummy's point and shoot deal where the picture comes out perfect every time. Most importantly, it's captures "Phantom" perfectly, not an easy task.

Also bought a 256MB memory stick for $180.00 on EBAY as well. :thumbsup: Not bad considering you basically pay $1 per MB.
