Canon 1000D vs Canon 550D

[Enchanted]

Shipping is quite pricey though $141.00 with FedEx.

I got free shipping on eBay

I've just been back on eBay Aimz with the shop you told me about.

It's all starting to hurt my head Can someone just find one for me and I'll pay for it
Might need to get kids into bed tonight and do it with no distractions!

My camera was just a point and shoot so I guess weighed a lot less than an DSLR so hence my shipping price wasn't so bad

[Enchanted]

I think it's possible that I am about to hyperventilate over this camera

Just about to whip out the CC to purchase one! Arrggghhhh!!!!

[Aimz]

Wooo! How exciting!!!

[Enchanted]

2 days on and still haven't bought one
I have decided to buy one on eBay and have got it narrowed down to 4. I just need to see which one is the better deal for me! Hopefully by the end of the day I have made the purchase!!

[Enchanted]

FINALLY bought one!! I am SO excited and cannot wait for it to come.

Got a Canon Kiss X4/550D off eBay with 18-55mm lens and a 16GB card for $745!! Now I will be stalking the postie everyday until it comes

[Aimz]

I'm looking at buying the Kiss X4 off a website, but as it says its the Japanese version, I'm now worrying that the instructions and everything are going to be in Japanese! Please say yours came with english instructions and the stuff on the camera is in englsih (like the dials, and buttons and stuff, lol)
other than that, how do you find it?

[Enchanted]

Everything is in English I don't have an "original" manual but they sent a photocopied English version which still does the same thing obviously! The settings & wording on the camera is all in English. I think that the only difference between the 550D and the US Rebel is that the X4 only has language settings for Japanese & English where as the other models have a greater selection of languages. It's a fantastic camera & I love it to bits! Can't fault it at all!

We just got the 1100D with twin IS lens kit. Generally around $950 (max) at Teds/Radio Rentals but they had a 15% off day a few weeks ago and we got it for $790

Loving it so far, I'm a total photography dunce and even I am getting awesome shots!
