Comments:
Well nothing much to say about. Just read the reviews of professionals and see the sample pictures. It should do it. Definetly professional grade and affordable digital camera. But Canon Lenses are expensive. You spend more money on lenses than the camare (body.)

Maybe the only annoying thing is, its high shutter release noise. Some says it's OK, but to me it's noisy. Extremely fast. I mean it. Fast Fast Fast. AND you will definetly need high capacity and extremely fast compact flash cards to use this feature. No visiable noise at high ISOs. I have mistakenly used ISO 1600 for my daylight pictures, you cannot even see any noise patterns at all. Last but not least, its battery life is great. You just forget about the battery. It lasts for days, for shoots, ...

Don't buy with the lens kit (18-55mm), It has the cheapest and worst canon lens ever. Just save $100 by buying Body, and add $250 - or more to buy a better lens. A zoom lens should do it. You can also shop for Sigma lenses for Canon. They are much more affordable and have the similar picture quality (sharpness, contrast, and detail.)
