>From the looks of it the possible downpoint would be the "cheap" feel of the rebel body. It might still have a long mirror blackout time as well. But other than that, the things I really hated about my 300 were the long startup time, the small shot buffer, and the pain of processing RAW images into jpegs. After I had my 20D, I also realized how slow the shutter was to respond and how unaethetically pleasing the rebel was. The lack of settable metering modes sometimes annoyed me, but I could always shoot M to get what I wanted, and I seldom actually needed them. The 350 seems to fix all those things, except possible the feel. If I was in the market for a DSLR I'd wait for http://www.dpreview.com/ to give a go at it before I made up my mind, but I'm also betting that it will really rock. Canon probably released this on the heels of the 20D to catch all the people who want a 20D, but don't have the money. Had they released it with the 20D, I bet they would have sold a lot less 20Ds. -- void *(*(*schlake(void *))[])(void *); * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
