The A100 has disappointing image quality, but I think the body itself is not bad. Not really special, but certainly not bad. It is a reasonable size, seems comfortable to hold and fairly well-built. I have only played with it a little but it's OK. I think it is a lot nicer than the 300D or 350D and probably the 400D too. These bodies are my absolute least favorite modern D-SLR bodies, except maybe for some of Olympus' odd creations (e.g. the E-300 which is about as pleasant to hold as a brick). They are cheaply made and have maddeningly poor ergonomics. This is, of course, done entirely on purpose. Aside from speed, the only reasons to buy a 10D, 20D or 30D over a 300D, 350D or 400D respectively are build quality and ergonomics. I don't like the ergonomics of my 20D, but I can live with them. I don't think I could shoot with a 300/350/400D, the ergonomics would drive me mad! I will take any entry level body from Pentax, Nikon or KM/Sony before these awful Canons.
