New camera

[ewx]

I bought a Canon EOS350 today. Thanks for everyone's advice. I experimented with it a bit between work and karate, and more extensively after getting home, and was very rapidly convinced I was right to upgrade - it's so much easier to get good results than my old camera, and even on the lowest quality setting (I only have a 64MB flash card currently l-) the images are much sharper.

I spent an afternoon playing with a 300D with the standard kit lens. Then I put my 28-135 IS on the front, and apart from unbalancing the camera - I find the 300 series far too small for my hands and too light to balance any sensible glass - the image quality definitely improved.

It's very subjective, though.

I was happy with the quality from my 28-90 that had come with my 300 body, until I put the 28-135 through its paces.

And I can see the problems with my zoom, on the occasions that I use prime glass.

However, there will always be a trade off between a number of factors; price, weight and image quality, are three that spring to mind, and can, of course, be applied to both the body and the lens.
