RE: EOS Friend Needs Advice on Canon Digital SLR Purchase

You need to think about whether the lenses she has are suitable. If she is going to need a new wide angle to cope with the 1.6x multiplier then the 18-55 EF-S would be a useful option to include in the budget if possible. The 10D is undoubtedly a better body than the 300D so is to be preferred if
