Just for info - to keep you all up to speed on what the other side are up to... EOS 300 (EOS REBEL 2000 / EOS KISS II in non-UK markets) Replacement for the EOS 500N. Focusing points are increased from 3 to 7, and metering zones from 6 to 35. Film transport is faster (1.5fps), and there is a dedicated button for depth-of-field preview. Likely to take over from the EOS 500N as the world's best-selling single-lens reflex camera.
