    Yes Fod, but we're saying that we doubt it's ability to work as well as they reckon it will... Where as the vibrations may shake some dust off, there's still going to be dust inside the body :)

    That's what my mouse is like... And my Powerbook keyboard, too! Silver look rubbish for cameras in general, my 300D was much the same - black is so much nicer IMO.

    Black is the way to go!
    Also, you will usually get higher resell value later on. Also, it looks more professional.

    why not? it would be funny.

    as far as i'm concerned, any serious cam is just a tool. ergonomics and functionality are the *only* things to consider. it ain't no fashion parade.

    Jessops.... In stock, £619.99

    No price drop on the 350D yet though, might have to wait a couple of weeks I guess :sigh:

    I dunno. When stores know when the new model is due (and no doubt Jessops etc will have known about the 400D for a good while) they tend to work their stock levels around that date, so they can a) persuade you to buy the new, more expensive model and b) maintain their margins on the stock of the old model.

    Still, I hope you get a bargain :D

    My local Jessops had the 350D with kit lense for £479, and with the kit lense, 55-200mm lense, & the battery grip for £699.

    They've also got the 400D in the flesh in the store as well.

    I'm still humming and harring over a dSLR... ;)

    Saw one of these in auckland airport last week, was well confused and just put it down to some different naming scheme or something. Shows how out of touch I've been :)

    Not entirely sure I like the removal of the other LCD though :/
