I don't know how much this matters or if I've done a good comparison test, but after seeing dcw@pr thread on ISO ratings I took these of my back wall (boring I know, but the weather is sh1t today):
All were taken on 'P' setting at 8mp jpg and cropped. Starting at ISO 100, 200, 400, 800 & 1600.

.... I took these of my back wall
Anyway, have fun with your new purchase
It's got an "o", two "n"s and a "d", but the number's all wrong and it's still missing at least two letters.....-DeaDLocK- said:
Cool. Congrats on the equipment purchase.
Looks though like you've got a sharpness problem going on there. The 350D should be able to resolve fantastic sharpness. Did you shoot handheld, by any chance?
Yep, sorry handheld it was.
I will try and post some proper pics soon.

Sorry I am trying to learn . . .
Mark,
There is absolutly no need to appologise. We may be of differing experience levels here, but we are a fraternity, and no-one will ever put you down, or demean your work. We all started in the same place, and I, along with everyone else, I'm sure, look forward to your future posts.

Absolutely. I didn't mean my post to seem stern, just to point out that in the list of all the things to learn, ISO is well below such basics as shutter speed and aperture. I think ISO gets rather over-done TBH.

Can I ask where it's available for £627? I'm considering one of these and if I could get Park Cameras or Jessops to price match that then it'll save me enough for some more toys!
It's gone up a little:
www.berridgemail.co.uk/products.php?productId=2076
There are a few places selling 'em at around £635.
eg:

This is one of the things I love about the PH pohotography forum. It's all about learning, constructive advice and encouragement. I think we are all learning a lot from each other here no matter what level we class ourselves as or what kit we use.
I really look forward to a daily browse here, especially seeing what folks are posting up in the monthly themes.
A big group hug to you all
Chris

Cheers Mark, went into Jessops today and came out with a 350D, 18-55 and 512mb Sandisk Ultra II for £684.98. They had no problems price matching it to cameras2u.com's price which was nice.
First impressions are excellent - it is small but I wanted something I can take hiking with me without taking up too much space or weight, it's fast, especially the autofocus which is much better than my old film 500N. Will have a further play about and see what piccies I can come up with
For the Nikon Clud, I was sorely tempted by the D70 which is a superb camera, but as I've already got a Canon lens or two and filters etc. to fit them the 350D was the better option for me

I think you were probably 1/2 cut when you wrote that, as I was with my post. It's amazing what a big rosy glow you get after a few bevvys.
Martin.
PS - I stand by what I said though.
