It is rather, isn't it? A shame, although comparing it to the Hasselblad gear in the Calumet catalogue that arrived yesterday made it look positively reasonable!

I've decided to be a bit more sensible, though, and am currently investigating the 50D. Street prices at the moment are a lot more reasonable than Canon's suggested figure. I'm almost certain I wouldn't regret buying one; my 300D isn't a bad camera but occasionally its age shows through at inopportune moments.
