I bought a compact camera with manual controls...pictures almost as good as an SLR - infact better than some SLR's...Canon S95.

I'd never end up carrying a SLR bulky camera after the honeymoon period and hence settled for a high end compact with manual controls. Slightly expensive and soo worth it. Btw i also have an SLR - but that i take only to football/tennis matches etc where carrying the camera is not a headache...for holidays, parties, everywhereelse i take the Canon S95...

Canon 1000D (10 megapixel) is a nice camera. I saw a shop selling Canon 500D (15 megapixel) for 3,180 QAR. 500D is far better than 1000D

well canon or Nikon is almost like Pepsi and Coke - I love my Coke and refuse to drink Pepsi and rather change my order.

so if you had already canon -stay with it

yes it is a good camera has all the functions you need to start. Even mirror lock up and you can take some awesome night pictures. The lenses that come with are good to start with but nothing to rave about but most kit lenses are like that. Get yourself next Christmas a sweet lens once you are competent using the camera.
