I find the 1000d "too" entry level, I think there are probably better bridge cameras out there that can give you a DSLR experience for a fraction of the price.
Don't get me wrong, it is a great introduction to the world of EOS and what they are, but I have always found that the best starting block is the 400d (second hand prices are pretty dam amazing), bit more but will last a lot longer.
The Lumix range is amazing, some of their bridge (and even the point and click) is amazing...
it has aperture setting, auto and manual focus, exposure control...has an AMAZING exposure plate, got camera of the year in Computer Arts alongside the EOS 1D!!! And that is saying something comparing a camera you can get under £200 to something you will struggle to find around £1000!
The 1000d is alright, I just don't think it has a great life span.
Imho I feel the Nikon d70 is the best camera for amatures. You could pick up a decent one for around £200. So easy to use and gives such great results, even on auto settings.
