Intermittent from at first and then the shutter totally locked. Luckily I bought an extended warranty (after bad experiences with two Nikon 801s) and got it fixed. Unreliable auto focus on kit lens focal length on kit lens. Lens flare a problem and optional lens hood a joke (& expensive). Overall extremely disappointed. Bought the 450D and similar auto focus problems. Front focuses badly especially when all 9 points engaged. Marginally better reliability when changed to centre point (only. Forget fast sports like Aussie Rules football. Can't believe the same auto focus system is on the 'you beaut' 5D Mark II. Chintzy plastic hinges on the battery door is a backward step (cf metal on the 350D) and wonder how long they'll last especially since they are often accidently forced (due to flawed design) when putting on the vert grip. Disappointed again. Maybe I should go back to Nikon. I have shot about 20,000 shots on my 350D and error 99 came up and rendered it useless.

Canon Rebel XT - The Rebel XT was my first digtal SLR camera. I bought it shortly after it became available in 2005 for $1000 (a Rebel XT is $499 with a lens as of Nov. ‘07). I still use it on almost a daily basis. I’ve shot somewhere around 25,000 – 30,000 shots now. No hiccups yet. Anyway, I can personally vouch for the reliability and image quality that this camera packs. (Read more about the Rebel XT here.) [...] [...] 1.
