Okay, as some of you may have noticed, my last 2 entries were submitted using my cell phone camera. This is due to the fact that I have a bent CF pin in my camera which will cost upwards of £100 according to a few shops I've asked in. Now, do I shell out £100+ to get my 300D working again, or do I upgrade after 3 years? (or is it 2, I can't remember).
This weekend (and this weekend only) Jessops are holding a DSLR sale! I'm very tempted to upgrade to a 350D. It will cost £525 in the sale, but Canon are offering a £100 cashback option if I purchase using a Mastercard (which my parents could possibly do for me). This would mean a real price of £425. Take off the £100 that I'd need to spend to fix my 300D and thats a not-so-bad price of £325. However, as I'm a student (poor!), it's still a fair chunk of money. But maybe it's something worth spending some of my student loan on?
What do you all think? Will I notice much of a difference in the 350D? Or should I just stick with my old and tired 300D? How much of a difference has it made to anyone who has upgraded from one to the other? Would I notice more of a difference upgrading to a 10D from a different retailer for a similar price?
Thanks for any advice :)

I think you should purchase it, because you do get a 100 dollar rebate. then you can take that 100 fix your rebel and sell it for 200 or 300 and get back some of the money for your XT.

i love my 350D :-)
ummm, i have used a friends 300D and raw in 350D is a lot better and i cant live without the 8mp in the 350D (full res. stock photography)... and i like the smaller and lighter black body better and the cooler shutter release noise, and the fact that the 350D is much faster... but apart from that i think they are pretty much the same. This is a hard decision to make! You might also consider fixing your 300D and then selling it to cover some of the costs of getting the 350D.
Good luck!

Ya, maybe you should just buy some lenses for your camera phone. :-)

Yeh, I was thinking of getting some L glass for it, if I could only find a way to attach them together :P
