yel: Last question! :p Can you give me some tips on buying film slr? im planning to buy one :)
I'm not sure what tips to give you since I've only bought a film SLR once, but let me share with you why I bought one. The only reason I bought a film SLR is to have the exact same camera that was used in one of my favorite movies! I deeply fell in love with the movie that I went as far as finding out the model of the camera and scouring the web for sellers of the same model. I thought I was never going to find one since it was manufactured in the late '70's, but as luck would have it, I found a seller and immediately bought it. I only asked him if it was still working and in good condition and that was just it. Haha. So if you're going to buy one (I'm assuming it's your first time to buy an SLR and you're going to buy a used one) be extra careful and check the condition of the shutter and the lens. Look if there are any cracks or loose parts and see if it's clean inside. Also, you may ask if it has a manual or if it can be downloaded from the web 'cause you will need it to learn basically how to use it. Good luck! :)

What are the reasons you chose to purchase your Canon EOS 1000D? Kindly elaborate. (: Thanks in advance, been canvassing DLSR's lately.
Well, I chose it because I think it has all the features I will ever need. Some of the features of 450d which are not present in 1000d are, in my opinion, not really necessary for starters. I personally think that it's better to invest on good lenses. I'm pretty sure that I will change my camera body in the future, but lenses will stay longer. Hope I was able to help. Haha! Good luck! :)
