I saw a rebox for £199 I think it was, but they had sold it yesterday. I've stumped up the cash for a new one for kathryn though, hopefully it'll be worth it. If she decides it's too big or confusing though I can exchange it in the shop
When I played with it in the shop it seemed cool, battery compartment felt a bit plasticy, but other than that it was good. I guess it shouldn't be that confusing as the auto modes new when to switch to macro mode etc. main thing is if it's possible for her to one hand hold, it's not as big as the 7d, but her hands are dinky...
