My nephew wants to do an A-Level in photograph. I have an old Canon 30D I'd be happy to donate (without a lens) but the family were also looking at clubbing together to get a new 1100D for him.
Personally I think the new camera would be a waste of money and I'm sure the 30D would be fine for his needs. The feel and usability of the 30D was a huge step up from my old 350D but I haven't used one of the entry level Canon's for years. Are they now much better than the 30D and would that just be unbearably tragic for a 16 year old to walk into an A-Level class with a 5 or 6 year old SLR?
