>>For the price of the 8800 you can get a digital cannon rebel slr and a good lens and save some money. Then you have the choice of getting more lenses and accesories as you need them.
Some die hard digital rebel fan is going to lose their minds over this one...
But the digital rebel is an expensive piece of plastic that was designed to last only a few years. If you're going to make the SLR dive, there are better cameras available for just a few hundred dollars more (such as the D-70).
Pick up a digital rebel at your local camera shop, and compare it to similar priced d-SLRs, and you'll see what I mean.
