Reading Gary's preview the back of it looks very much like the new Sony Alpha 100. Especially with what looks like the "eye start" sensor under the viewfinder, and the large print rear display with settings information. I look forward to playing with one in my local Jessops.

Also i like th look of the new 50mm f1.2L at last a L series 50mm!!

There was an L-series 50mm years ago - the hopeless, soft, EF1.0L. Like a complete fool, I bought one.

Looking to upgrade my 300D but if it's the same size as the 350D, then I don't care what else it has, I won't be buying.

It's seems the camera manufacturers, just keep adding another camera with a little bit more on than the last, in order to just make money, I have my 300D it takes photo's and they ain't half bad, don't feel the need to upgrade. The owners of 12 month old 400D's will be wanting to upgrade to 450D's and so on. It looks to be more aimed at want and not need.

My Canon D20 feels a little flimsy with a weighty lens on it, particulary around the card door. The 400D is even more lightweight than the D20. I won't be upgrading until it comes in a stronger box.
