I'm jumping in here. Started with a Coolpix 775 in February 2002, and it did well capturing our trip to the French Alps; followed by a Coolpix 4500 in August 2002 and got my 10D in March 2003. Until I bought the 10D, I continued using my EOS3. Since getting my 10D, my number of shots has increased dramatically and I'm now extremely satisfied with the print quality from my Epson 1270. Prints from slide scans were good but not super. (Prints could be good from the 4500, but even in sunlit shots sometimes I could see noise in the shadows. Now, 775 lives in car for emergencies, & 4500 is used when I want to travel really light.) Haven't taken a shot with my EOS3 since getting the 10D, although I do occasionally look through the (large) EOS3 viewfinder to remind me what a 1Ds viewfinder might look like! Incidentally, where I live I have yet to see a 1D or a 1Ds either in a shop or in use. The only 10D I've seen is my own, but a local shop did have a 300D on its shelf for about a week. The only DSLRs I see around here are the Nikons issued to the press guys.
