Yep the Canon 300D is a revelation - the quality of the images from it are
*FAR* superior to those from my OM2!
It still feels a strange to use - I'm not normally nervous when using a new
camera - but I took a few shots today of a friend's baby - and it kinda felt
like I was using somebody else camera I was usig it so gingerly lol
But the images from it are stunning! Love it. I might sell either my OM2 or
Canon A1 (I wanna keep at least one decent film SLR as a backup and still
occasionally shoot film - I'm not afraid to use and abuse my film SLRs -
they're used to it! lol
