Digital Outback Photo have published a report of the one hour that they recently spent using the Canon EOS 300D. There are a few sample photos taken with the new EF-S 18-55mm lens, and some early observations about the general handling of the camera. Essential reading for everyone who has pre-ordered the 300D!

“The Digital Rebel with the new EF-S 18-55mm lens feels light. This is meant in a positive sense that you want to carry this camera more often with you than a 10D or even a 1Ds.

The time today was way to short to find out about the quality of the new EF-S 18-55mm lens. But as far as we can see in these sample shots this is a very useable lens.”
