Now that my youngest (29) son's not in ICU every few weeks, we've had time to see more than the inside of a 10 bed ward. So. Last year, I bought a Fuji finepix F50fd (PAS). It's ok for off-the-cuff snaps, shaky video and grainy night shots, but I'm thinking of getting something that will take shots that match what my eyes see rather than the opinions of a half blind Fuji engineer (either that or I've got Monet's eyes)

After a bit of searching, and bearing in mind I'd like to be able to take shots from a distance by radio remote control (so as not to spook the wildlife), I've noticed the "Canon EOS-1000D DSLR Camera with EF-S18-55mm Lens" as a possibility. Knowing there are a few VBF'rs with far more knowledge about this than me, I thought I'd ask for opinions. So, opinions about the camera anyone ?

(I've also just been given an unexpected cheque for £93 that will offset any costs. And I'm looking for an autosleeper)
