And its not so complicated.
As for the pics it has 7.2 Mpixels, and does pretty good pics for such small camera 8)

one positive thing is that the 350D is something you can continuously upgrade for years (IE, the lenses, and various attachments) where cheaper non-slr cameras just cant be upgraded much... nor to the same quality.

thanks, nth - they aren't exactly strapped for cash - but £500 is what they want to spend on their camera
And the upgradeability factor is perhaps on of the main attractions - being able to customise the camera is a high priority.
Thanks for your thoughts guys 8)
Looking forward to more opinions...
