Well sure it depends on your needs. But by simply looking through this forum I assume Mixtec is after airshow photography.

As for nightscenes, nothing could be better than digital as it allows you endless attempts with shutterspeed etc, without wasting any film.

Mind you these pictures were taken without the aid of a tripod. I simply held the camera tight against a fence for a few seconds at ISO 800. The hanager pic though is taken with the camera resting on the spoiler of my car at ISO 100 with a much longer exposure 😀
Considering the colour… again Digital provides unequalled opportunities to experiment with white balance and pictures can easily be adjusted in programs such as Photoshop – especially when shooting RAW. It’s all a matter of what you do and what you want – definitely not the capabilities.

The EOS 300D is aimed at the more serious amateur and is a really nice piece of kit for the price. Combined with a good lens (I am using rubbish lenses at the moment – still undecided what lens to buy) it can create professional quality pictures without a doubt.
