Manufacturer's Description
Quality; The EOS 350D Digital employs Canon's acclaimed CMOS technology, for outstanding image quality and an impressive 8.0 Megapixel resolution. Now you can always be primed for the next shot thanks to the responsive 3 frame per second, 14 frame burst performance and instant 0.2 second start up time. Powerful DIGIC II architecture taken from Canon's pro-series cameras ensures no compromise on style, sophistication, capabilities and super-fast image processing.

Focus; 7 auto focus points are distributed across the frame for fast, accurate focusing, even with off-centre subjects. Lock focus before the shot with One Shot AF, or switch to AI Servo AF for predictive tracking of moving subjects a must-have for avid wildlife and sports enthusiasts!

Perfect light; The powerful pop-up flash (guide no. 13) offers plenty of lighting flexibility. E-TTL II distance-linked flash reads lens distance information and provides ambient light for accurate flash metering - perfect for recomposed shots and difficult reflections. The camera is compatible with the entire EX Speedlite flash range, including the Speedlite 580EX, which transmits colour temperature information for improved colour stability.

Built with the EOS 350D Digital photographer in mind, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM cover an exciting range of popular focal lengths, while the EF-S 60mm f/2.8mm Macro USM lens lends an exhilarating new dimension to the unseen world of insects and plants.

Once connected direct to any PictBridge compatible printer, simply hit the 'Direct Print' button for an instant print of the displayed image; automatically sized and correctly aligned&less work for you!

My upgrade from Point & Shoot
4 stars because of VERY minor niggles, otherwise I would have given 5 stars:
1) No ISO display in view finder
2) View finder could be bigger
3) kit lens (18-55) not great (for this reason I had to buy body only and bought Sigma 18-200mm instead)
I have had this camera since July 2005 and love it and no regret over my previous Canon powershot S1. I was thinking about upgrading from S1 to S2 but decided I should go straight into DSLR instead of another Point & shoot (P&S) camera which I will outgrow it and eventually need a DSLR anyway.

To be honest, it was my third 350D after two failed on me! The full story and comparison to P&S can be read here in my website:

Initially I was disappointed with the poor quality control that one could get faulty camera from Canon. I put of buying the 350D after two failed on me until after 3 months, my urge for a DSLR could not stop me from getting my 3rd 350D! There was no other better DSLR at that time (and still is now as of Sept 2005). I personally think that 350D is still better than the Nikon counter part D70/D50 despite that they have a better lens (18-70mm).
Here is my review of my 3rd 350D:

There are many sample photos taken with 350D in my website (check out links under 'Resources') if you are interested. The first travel photos with my 350D (with Sigma 18-200mm and Sigma 30mm f1.4) was the Croatia gallery:
http://www.theteh.com/html/croatia.html

DSLR is 'FAST' and P&S is 'SLOW' to me. This is the single factor that made me chose the 350D instead of another P&S. Second is the shallow Depth of field (DOF) produced by large aperture lenses (eg the Sigma 30mm f1.4, a truly fantastic lens). If speed and shallow DOF are not what you are after, there is no reason to get a DSLR.

See pic was taken with the Sigma 30mm at f1.4 to get shallow DOF:

Hope this review helps you to decided!

I'm only an amature photographer, which is what makes this camera great. It doesn't have all the fancy bits which you'd expect on a proffesional DSLR. Its quick and simple and there is a wide range of lenses that can fit this camera.
