Very good value.
This isn't a "fancy" flash, but it certainly gets the job done. It's lighter in weight and smaller than the 420/430/550 and 580 flashes, while providing most of the functionality (without the bells and whistles). If you don't need the swivel or remote capabilities of the bigger flashes this is a good choice.
If you just need a simple flash with some power, the 380EX works well.

Very good camera for the money
1 of 1 found this helpful This camera offers a good value in the used market. I've been using Canon cameras for over 30 years and I've been pleased with all of the bodies I've owned. This camera is no exception.
My two complaints about the camera are it's size and the burst rate. My hands are large and I find that small size and controls can be a little awkward. I've got a 1DmkII that is considerably larger and (to me) easier to handle. The burst rate/buffer while not bad for the $$$, are on the slow side and I found myself waiting on the buffer to clear while shooting high school football.
This camera won't ever replace my 1D, but it is great as a light little camera to grab and go when I don't need the buffer burst of the 1D and won't more than a "point and shoot." The image quality is very good and the features (and accessories) are way more than adequate.
I've also purchased a Canon XT Digital Rebel for my daughter and it seems to be virtually the same camera, just has XT on the front instead of 350D.....
All in all, if you are ready to move up from a "point and shoot," this camera is great starting place. If you're looking for a second (or third) CANON body that is very compact and light, this is a good choice. If you're looking to get into shooting professionally, this isn't a great choice.
As others have stated, I also recommend purchasing an upgrade lens over the stock 18-55mm that Canon chose to package this guy with.

Just wow!
This is my second 1DmkIII body. I've also shot the Canon 1D (4 Mp) the 1DmkII (8.2 Mp) and the 1DsmkII (16 Mp), not to mention a few Rebels and xxD's. The 1DmkIII is the best overall in my opinion. I might like the 1DmkIV better, but at $4000+, it's not happening anytime soon....
I primarily shoot youth sports (middle school, high school and college) with an occasional wedding or other event thrown in. The combination of speed (both focus and shooting), image quality and price make this camera a great value. I still love the 1DsmkII for its full frame capabilities, but with my primary focus being sports, having a second 1DmkIII makes much more sense.
One of the nicest features of the camera is the ability to shoot RAW images to one card and JPEGs to the second card. I've started leaving a 32Gb SDHC card (RAW) and a 8Gb CF card (JPEGs) in the camera. I'll generally use the JPEGs, but if I need to do some heavier tweaking to a few shots, I have the option of pulling the RAW file off of the SDHC card.
My one complaint about the camera is the use of the "joy stick" button as the toggle to switch to the registered focus point. When shooting vertically, it is hard to reach across the back of the camera to push it in. On the previous 1-series cameras, there was no joy stick and there were two focus buttons - one near the horizontal controls and one near the vertical controls - always in EASY reach.
