Oooooh, you guys aren't messing around...the EOS 10D is a seriously nice camera!
I just got my first digital camera as a gift for Xmas. It's a Canon A70. I've been impressed with it so far. It has the Digic chip, 3x optical zoom, manual focus, and a host of other useful features not usually found on digicams in the $200-300 range. Picture quality is good and actually much better than I'd expected. You can also record movie clips at 640x480 (with sound if desired) which can be a lot of fun. I was also impressed by the quality of the software package.
Overall, I would say this is a fine camera for anyone with a limited budget looking for something more capable than the typical point-and-shoot.
