The digital Canon EOS is a very nice camera, my brother-in-law bought one because he wanted to use his old lenses and it's terrific. Most of the pros I work with use the Nikon cameras, but there are a few who use the EOS. The one thing that is a little disconcerting if you are switching is that the focal lengths are effectively longer when the lens is put on a digital camera because the imaging area is smaller then 35mm, so wide angle lenses look normal and long lenses look even longer. That and the fact that the depth of field is so much deeper. If you are looking to just take snaps, you may want to just buy a cheaper, lighter, smaller camera with a 40-90 zoom built in. The professional grade digital cameras are bears, they are big heavy cameras. If you don't need to have your stuff go to offset printing I wouldn't spend the money. Some of the smaller Nikon, Canon and Olympus cameras are great and have good enough quality to print 8x10 to a high resolution printer. I'm using a Canon s9000 to print to, with the Ilford pearl surface paper it looks better then anything I can do in a dark room, both for B&W and color.
