"Good upgrade from Canon Powershot S3"
Pros: Good weight, high speed shooting, fast start up, full control, good flash range
Cons: High learning curve from a point and shoot, overwelming manual
Summary: I got this camera from a trusted retailer for $1299. I had been using the Canon Powershot S3 and wanted a step up. Considered the XT, XTI and XSI, but considered them almost a sideways move from the S3. Knowing very little about DSLRs, I was shooting in 'P' mode the first night, making adjustments and enjoying the full control of the lens. I have searched out some videos on Youtube, mostly reviews and instructional, and found quite a few, check it out. I was close to choosing the Nikon D80 at a lower price, but I have owned Canon products and never had a problem. The 40D just felt right in my hands. I know that's not a technical term, but for those who are starting out, I researched this subject to death and am very happy and satisified with my choice.
