For the past three years, I've been using a simple point and shoot Kodak DX-3600 for my digital pics. Now, after reading some things on the Net, I've starting to get a serious jones for the Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300D. Anyone out there actually own this puppy and can give me some feedback? I miss the quality of my old Minolta Maxxum and would love to get it in a digital camera.
I'm salivating a bit over this one as well. Of course you can get tons of functionality in the higher end point and shoots. Our Canon Powershot S50 can do shutter priority, aperture priority, total manual as well as a couple of automatic settings. Of course the lens is the thing with the SLR, eh.
My ONLY concern might be with the battery. My dad has an Olympus point and shoot and go nearly forever on 2 AA's. Our Canon uses a Lithium-Ion propreitary battery ($50 for a spare) and our battery life frankly sucks. Surely this semi-pro (or pro) camera has a better battery though.
When you get it, please let us know how you like it.
