I have 300D for more then half year and i'm very pleased with it's performances.

I'm sport photographer, so eaven he have 2,5 pic/sec and buffer of 4 pictures i can make some preety nice photos with it.

O.K. in future i'm looking for new version of 10D when canon release it but here are some pictures taken with 300D and 70-200 mm f2,8 lens. So you can be sure that 300D will handle all yours semi pro requirements.

Marulianus,

since only few of us speak Serbo-Croatian and/or are familiar with Croat football teams, is Hajduk split the name of the football team? (It seems so from the website)

Do you work for them as a photographer?
There sure are some very nice pictures on the website.

Y'know, we're a curious bunch here :lol:

Best regards,
Andy


some cameras, some lenses,
and still a lot of things to learn...
(so post processing examples on my images are welcome :D)

I work in a photolab and have shot the d70 and personallt own the 300D.
I shoot mostly portraits/weddings and i'll say for that application the 300d is great. There are a few things I find annoying, 1st, that's it's silver (i don't have the skill to pull the thing apart, paint it, and put it back together) d70 is black (sometimes Nikon marketers get it right). And it doesn't have flash exposure compensation, which was a huge issue for me as it underexposes by about 2/3rds of a stop if you're using the 420EX or less. There IS a firmware hack out there though and it works like a charm.

The d70 is a lot more expensive, and the Nikon processor just sucks compared to the 300d's, looking at sample shots between the two you can see where the processing is failing. But you can get Nikon lenses, and even old cheap super sharp fixed lenses which would be nice.

The lens that comes with the 300d is a necessary buy (as opposed to just buying body) unless you have big bucks to fork out for a pro super wide angle. And you will definately want to get a different main lens. I just picked up the 28-135 IS USM and it's a blast, I don't have to do nearly as much sharpening as I used to and it allows me to shoot handheld at 1/10 it's great. The 300d is a great camera, but if you use flash a lot I would highly recomend downloading the hack, Canon really missed the ball on that one.

These are shot with the IS, heavy postwork but very little sharpening.

This was shot in a dark, dark club at ISO 400 handheld at 1/15th with the IS on

yes, there are. In terms of image quality the 300D is better. Even Dpreview.com admits that, while they clearly rate the D70 higher due to its functionality. It's for you to decide. Both are excellent cameras. However, if you have very good Canon lenses (L-glass? ;) ) then the choice is simple.

Could you give a link at dpreview where it says 300D has a better image quality than D70? This is very intereting to me. Thanks.

go to D70 review and go to the conclusion. among CONS you'll find the following fraze: "Can't match the EOS 300D's silky smooth ISO 100 (low noise) "

1st not Serbo-Croatian, but only Croatian :twisted: And second yes Hajduk is name of football team from Split - Croatia (and Torcida is their supporter group, it it oldest suporter group in Europe founded 1950). Web page www.hnkhajduk.com (external link) (www.torcida-split.com (external link) is part of that web site) is my site dedicated to Hajduk, so i'm not official photographer of Hajduk. Photography is my hobby, and as i work for croatian internet sport magazine i get acreditation for every match in europe i want to visit, so i can take perfect photos from pitch.

I hope this information will cure your curiosity :) If you need more info just ask :)
