Attention quantum/photographers...
Hoping to get one july/august. Could possibly stretch to the 350D rather than the 300D, but as another option, what about the 10D, as it seems you can pick a second hand one up for not much more than the 300D. As I understand it, its pretty much the same camera as the 300D with the added bonuses of the configurable settings the 300 lacks and a stronger case...

But let's face it, if you're only starting up, do you really need all these bits and pieces just to learn the trade in the beginning?
No, I probably dont need a lot of the stuff Vibrio relies on. That's what I'm battling with. I dont want to spend a fortune on a camera, but want something I'm not going to be dissapointed with in the near future and I feel the 300D could be a bit of a dissapointment once I start wanting more, if you get me.Originally Posted by jimma
Lack of buffer on the 10d vib, please explain.
Example. Will only take like 5 RAW pics then will have to wait for the camera to write them to the card before being able to shoot again.
Withnail, these pics where taken with the 300d without a tripod and on P and the only thing photoshop did to them was resize and compress them more.

Cheers seaniboy, I remember seeing those. Great pics, especially considering there was no tripod involved.
Hmm... 300d does seem to be getting cheaper by the day on ebay. Its slightly frustrating that there are virtually no used examples of the 350d on ebay; they're all new and generally shipped from hong kong for about £75.
what bits and pieces are you taking about?
my camera has the same functins as any other SLR.
buffer is the memory of the camera. each picture takes up so many bytes and that info needs to get transfered to the memory card. the 300D and the 10D have slow transfer rates from camera to card and have smallish buffers so if you take quite a few shots ina row your going to have to wait to shoot again before you can take more.
I'm with you. That's not much of an issue for me, thankfully.
So, vibrio. 10D or 300D.
