- The REBEL non S is worth looking at. You lose the flash, a lifetimes supply of
- red-eye and a hole in the pocket where the 2CR5 used to be.
- The non S rebel/1000s are cheaper as well. If you can get a good discount on
- a rebel ( non s, non II ) you can probably get a 300EZ or 3rd party flash
- with the difference. The only plus on the II over the original IMHO is the
- higher sync speed.

- The reble is I feel the best starter 35mm SLR around. It is an 'honest cheapy'.
- No, it won't out last an F or F1, and won't out perform a F4 or EOS-1, but
- it can be used FULLY manualy, to full auto-everything. And it is light enough
- for kids to use. Its a pity its not sold 'standard' with the 50 f1.8 rather
- than the crappy zooms they fit. You can fit all of the EF stuff on it, from
- the 15mm fish-eye, all the way up to the 1200mm f5.6L.
- You can add to your first body then trade/get another without worrying about
- compatability. Welll, that not perfectaly correct, but if you are using 'old'
- FD L 300mm+ lenses you probably wouldn't be looking at a rebel... :-)
