Phil Askley has posted an exhaustive review of a pre-production EOS300D / Digital Rebel over at Digital Photography Review. UK list price given is £899.
From the review it sounds like an outstanding camera for the price, especially when compared to similarly priced fixed lens cameras. The only thing lacking seems to be the feature set, which Phil suggests they crippled on purpose to ensure people still bought the EOS 10D.
He even thought the body finish wasnt *that* bad.
I held one of these in a camera shop today and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality; Askley was right, the body finish is not bad atall.

I have now taken more pics with the camera .
THe flash compensation is terrible. I find myself having to manually overide lowering exposure settings manually. Not very clued in when it comes to ttl metering...
