Hi List,

IMHO for the money, you would be better off looking at the canon 300d / 350d, the 300d's are available for about 1200 these days and the 350d's retail for around 1650..

i own both a 300d and an olympus (not an SLR) but have used them and have found the Canons to be more reliable and robust, especially if it is a piece of equipment that will be loaned/borrowed to many different people

Please does anyone know of any reason not to go with this one?
Anything like software not mac happy? RAW format ok for mac etc?
