My high expectations were exceeded

With such a costly purchase with so many technical possibilities it is (s) quickly seduced a lot of talking, and writing. Here the most important thing has already been reported numerous times; the picture quality is just great and the operation is very simple.
I had long hesitated to switch from analogue to digital photography. Images noise at high ISO values ​​and shutter lag were long rightly reasons that spoke against it.
Now I can no longer imagine anything else. The Canon EOS 350 D thins my travel photos from a superb quality, without this I must accept any disadvantages. Alone the lens is mediocre. That was only to be expected but given the price.
Since I have big hands and truly no dainty fingers, I was skeptical in the face of the read tests and reviews, if I'm going to get along well with the delicate and lightweight EOS 350 D Completely unjustly. Even I manage it without any problem, the EOS 350 D to operate.
Also I feel their low weight in shooting not as a disadvantage. It lies well in the hand. Camera shake are the exception.
I feel the light weight and the small dimensions even as a huge relief. Finally, I can perform my "equipment" in my travels with you, without you lug around. Even after days it bothers me hanging on the shoulder at all. And I really can not say about my old analog SLR.
Although the case does not act as robust, there are numerous falls and the tropics but has survived without hesitation.
From the beginning, they could be operated intuitively and without time-consuming to read the operating instructions. The manual itself is built gratifying course. For technical equipment which is unfortunately not a foregone conclusion.
As a dedicated travel photographer with many years of experience I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. The technical possibilities, or rather gimmicks, I have long not quite exhausted. The results are very good even with the supplied lens. With a better they are excellent. Compact cameras play as in a completely different league with far below. Analog SLR have had their day.
Professionals with specific needs or poster freaks will resort to even more expensive and slightly better models. Likewise, followers of the technical feasibility cult with braggart airs (mostly male sex). The rest of the world will be well served with this camera and will also look forward to a high fun factor.
