Canon EOS 10D as first camera?

My hands aren't exactly that big and I have thin, weedy fingers so I don't think that will be a problem. It's now just bargain spotting time, I've found a generously priced 350D but I've also found a 20D that's going cheap on eBay. I'm going to see how the 20D goes and if it ends up too much for me, I'll go for the 350D. Expect me to be posting what I've bought later and getting all excited :p

Have a look at this post, taken with EOS 350D and a kit lens.

I loved my 20D

Right, I've found a 350D and a 18-55mm lens for under £200

Shall I go for it?



If it's the 18-55 IS, yes

If not, then I personally wouldn't. IS itself is quite helpful even at this focal length, but the main reason for me saying that is the older non-IS versions had a reputation for being awful, whereas the 18-55 IS is really quite decent for the money you can get them for.
 
You'll be seeing plenty of threads of me asking the most simple of things, so get ready ;)
