Its time for DSLR

1000D has image stabilisation on the stock lense and also has fast focus with the USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) lenses

Even without a USM my 1000D locks on in about 3/4 of a second to almost everything.

One of my friends uses a canon, and having used it, I much prefer my dads sony.

If you read reviews, sony always come out very well. Things you have to consider:

Built in Image stabilisation (no matter what lens you use, you will get this, whereas canon you need to spend more on lenses)

Built in Auto-focus (essentially, auto focussing will always be fast, rather than varying with different lenses)

I actually think Sony's produce a better image, although I've not used a canon for a couple of years, my dad did try an a100 and Canon something, found the a100 much nicer..

Sony also make sensors for nikon, so they obviously arent that bad

I'm obviously a bit of a sony fanboy, but they are lovely.

Ive got to wait a couple weeks to get mine now, didnt fancy cleaning the bank right out.

But I think the a350 looks like the cam of choice.

[AntiHeroUK]

LOL make sure it is actually charging. I left the Mamba on what I thought was charging and went out for a few hours. Came back home expecting it to be charged and it hadn't even started

Don't think the bridge was opening, doesn't looks like a bridge that can move. And besides, Tom's cases are mad, but he isn't mad himself :')
