well, the 300D comes with a decent lense at 1400$. And i think you'll be more than satisfied with it.

Keeping in mind that you take lots of pictures in clubs: pictures with noise becomes a major annoyance (including myself) in low light coniditions.

You will barely notice any noise with the 300D because it has a large CCD compared to the tiny CCD in the S1. This alone should convince you about which one to get.

Granted tho, that the S1 pro is suited for people that don't need the hassle of fine tuning anything and just point and shoot.

Here's an example with a 20 seconds shutter opening in the night, try finding noise (grains) in that 300D shot

will do RJ, i'm gearing up towards the 300D.. Malek your absoloutly right, I already have a Point and shoot digicam no need to get a point and shoot "prosumer" cam. I think after a year of fiddleing and learning I should step up to the real DSLR world.

Besides, low noise is of the utmost importance!! nice shot by the way

oh I wish it was mine I wish I had a 300D...

i have a Sony F717... and the noise is #_(*%&#_ getting on my nerves big time!

If you have the patience to wait, the Nikon D70 is around the corner and should bring both prices down (both 300D and D70).

The D70 is superior in many aspects, but the thing that intrests me the most is its ability to continuosly shoot pictures without stopping. How about 24 hi res shots in 8 secs?!? (3fps!)

I currently have an F80 - so obviously the D70/D100 would be my preference (so I can use all my nikkor lenses).

But - lets see what type of deal we can get.

SLR is the way to go. My F80 has served me VERY well.

Good to know about this.. I've only been looking at cams that have already been released, I just have a Canon bias right now heh but i'm open minded will definitely check out the D70 as well. Nikon makes great cams as well. I won't be able to get any cam till next month anyway.

RJ yes I think we should definitly go shopping together see what kind of deals we can run up.

Mate. The D70 is already available (pre-order 3 day wait). It runs about $1500 (just for the body).

The D100 runs about $2000.
