Canon EOS 350D unveiled

[redstorm]

Have never owned a DSLR and was quite tempted to get the Nikon D70 after its price drop. However, for some unknown reason, I did not go for the buy. Maybe, it's partly because I have been mainly a Canon user all my life. Now, with the introduction of the 350D, I will definitely make my first DSLR purchase. The 350D, of course.

I feel for those EOS300D users that feel a little shortchanged, but for cameras the product cycle can be quite harsh. :dunno:

But hey ultimately its the user that counts. I've been using my trusty Nikon F90 for a really long time and up to today, even if you offer me an F5 (or is it F6 now?) I'd still be more comfortable with my F90.

Anyways the EOS350D does look nice, and it may be my first entry into the DSLR arena after a long lay off from cameras (got sick of photography in S'pore after a long time), I can save $$$ from the more ex EOS20D and buy that new lens that gives me around 24-135mm after conversion, since I have a preference towards 1 lens use as much as possible.
