--Gotta say as a 300D owner, I don't bother to look at the 300D forum
too much. Just seems like mostly a waste of time....
I'm fine with the 300D's performance, which is pretty much as
advertised - even if the AF is a bit sloppy. Camera bodies really
should still be thought of as temporary items at this point in the
digital camera revolution. It's a great learning tool, and you
could take a full loss on the cost of the body and easily be offset
by the price reduction and performance gains of the next generation
of higher end bodies you might want to upgrade to in a year or so
--- Might even wind up with a few decent pictures in the process....
The lens quality variation cr*p shoot seems like a genuine cause
for concern though. Glass is supposed to be the long term
investment, and the amount of trouble you might have to go through
to get yourself a good copy - along with the ethical dilemma of how
to make it you that winds up with one of the better ones - is kind
of a pain.
I don't see it changing --- just want to go on record as saying -
What a pain....

Just think, if every key-stroke was a shutter-press we would all be pros by now...
