Quote - Well, I have the bag, extra battery, and a 2 gig memory card. 

Here is a pretty stupid question though, what does it take to shoot in the rain?

A plastic bag and a rubber band.

I've had mine for well over a year now and have never had a problem. As with all electonics it froze for the first time in over a year and all it took was me taking the battery out to reset it, NO PHOTOS WERE EFFECTED. I think it's a fantastic starter camera. With DSLRs stay away from the 'auto' modes try and use the shutter, aperture and munual modes as much as possible, this will give you the best results.

Depending where you're from Digital Photo has a £7 new user 350D manual out with some free software. It's a really good buy for beginners. Printed in the UK.

I would only trade my 350D for a 5D. It does everything you could want.

If you've got big hands you might have handling issues, and you'll want to get rid of the kit lens...
