Question by Cody: Should I get a canon 350d or a 500d?
This is my first DSLR camera.

Well the 500D is a newer camera than the 350D and has a newer version of the DIGIC image processor however if it’s your first DSLR that really doesn’t matter.

The 350D will be much cheaper now as it’s been around for a long time and it might be a better buy on the basis that you might not get on with DSLR’s and decide to swap to a compact.

Ultimately when you get into the DSLR world, the camera body is not the most important part of the equation, it’s the lenses that you put on the front of it, lens quality will have a much bigger impact on image quality than the camera.

    Depends how deep your wallet goes. 500D being around 700 pounds and the 350d about 400.
    Either way they are good for the amateur photographer.
    If you are just beginning with DSLR de 1000d is another option and way cheaper.

    Personally I would choose the 500d, because of it’s tremendously cinematic features.
    Did you know some directors choose the 500d to fill their movies?

    I am going to second the suggestion of the 350D. The camera is much cheaper, and as your first SLR you should hold back some of your finances as you will no doubt find that there is a lot more that you will want to buy.

    As you gain experience in photography, you will find a whole list of equipment you want. So it’s good if you save some cash for that.
