Pulled the trigger on a Canon Digital SLR this morning. I had the chance to play with my friend's D60 while in Vegas, and it convinced me I wanted to enter the world of interchangeable lenses and CMOS sensors. Not cheap by any means, but hopefully an investment in the future that I won't have to replace for a long time.
I honestly only really got into photography with my current digicam, the Canon Elph S100. It's a fantastic device, all the more amazing for its small size, and it's been taken to Sweden, Austria, England and number of other places by both myself and trustworthy friends to whom I've loaned it. However, there comes a time when you want more resolution, better optics, and a wide selection of lenses. The 10D fits the bill on all these counts, as well as does for for thousands less than what equivalent or lesser cameras sold for 6 months ago.
There's a pretty in-depth review of the camera here, as well as another one here. Now to try and decide on a lens... suggestions welcome.
