... Is there a digital slr available that is cheaper than the 300d? I already have a telephoto lens for my eos300 film, so canon would be preferable (I'll live with the 1.6 mag/crop), but I could always sell my film camera complete with lens if I could find a cheaper digital equivalent. I don't want to spend 700 GBP on a camera to replace my film version - it just doesn't seem worth it and I know the compact digital cameras are slow to take photos and slow to switch on etc, but they also only cost from just 150-200 pounds! I could probably sell my 300+lens+bag+bits for nearly that and go digital for nothing, but I like my slr. Advice? Stick with film for now?, or take the plunge and go digital compact?, or can I get a cheap dslr? Nope, not unless you want to look for a used D30 or D60. Mark

dslr cheaper than 300d?
Is there a digital slr available that is cheaper than the 300d? I already
have a telephoto lens for my eos300 film, so canon would be preferable (I'll live with the 1.6 mag/crop), but I could always sell my film camera complete with lens if I could find a cheaper digital equivalent. I don't want to spend 700 GBP on a camera to replace my film version - it just doesn't seem worth it and I know the compact digital cameras are slow to take photos and slow to switch on etc, but they also only cost from just 150-200 pounds! I could probably sell my 300+lens+bag+bits for nearly that and go digital for nothing, but I like my slr. Advice? Stick with film for now?, or take the plunge and go digital compact?, or can I get a cheap dslr?
