great story. those kinds of deals got me into shooting Canon DSLR, i have an old Rebel XS, very solid made in Japan camera. the only thing i miss is a higher iso; the quality however is all i really need.

nice thing about these older DSLR is that ebay is loaded with them as well as others. they sold me my camera with two 18-55mm kit lenses.

Today I went into Lightroom and looking through the 5502 photos I took with mine in the 1.5 years that I owned it (2003-2005) and I sure got some good photos with it.  Of course, I have gotten many good photos with all the cameras since then too, but that 300D was still a quite capable camera.  For most uses 6.3mp is enough.  Back in those days I made several 12x18 inch prints and they looked really good.
