Update 29 October 05.
Have finally bought this camera few weeks ago for stop-gap before buying either future 7D/9D. This is an excellent entry level camera that also packs feature suitable for keen amateur.
The price when I bought it was spot on and almost the same with A200.
AS works as good as that of my A2, despite larger sensor.
Just hope that it comes with PC-sync, dimage transfer and optional vertical grip (seems imposible with this price).
ISO3200 is very acceptable for straight 4R print. With Noise removal then it is become negligable even at bigger print.
The ergonomic is excellent and don't really have to read the manual.
With the 18-200, I don't see the need to buy highend prosumer as 5D is very compact indeed. The small 6mp is being trade off with the excellent high ISO noise capability.
Problems:
Just minor complaints so far:
-LCD resolution could be better. But still it is better to have low res large LCD than high res small LCD
