What's wrong with the 350D? Served me well.

In its time it was quite a good camera. That was 10 years ago. That was my point: writing in 2015 that it is a great camera (it isn't anymore) and a camera to start with now, is just not true.

What's wrong with it? it had an AF system that was quite inaccurate with a number of lenses, giving Canon a bad reputation back then on the internet forums. It has a useless back LCD. it has a grip that many kept on griping about. It had a short battery life. It had very noisy results above ISO 400, for today's standards.

it its time, it served me well too. But this "review" was very 2005, not 2015. Read my original post, or is that too much to ask?

I only upgraded to a 70D recently more for the video function.
