Frankly, there will always be something better and more upgraded down the line. However, I think the 10D is a tad dated. Canon has made some improvements since 2003. Check out the 40D or the XTi rebel.

I would suggest you to look at Sony DSLR A300 or A350.

The glass is better in Canons and Nikons' quite frankly. You don't see very many photojournalists shooting a Sony ...

As I answer in another tread to you, we are not talking about professionals here. For the first DSLR, Sony I think is better. Please do not overlook Live View function - it is a big selling point for amature who want to jump to DSLR world.

Besides, majority of the people (first time DSLR buyers) will use their DSLR in Auto Mode (may be P mode) and will never buy another lens, so kit lens will be the only piece of glass they own.

Don't disregard others just because they are new or not popular. (thanks God we are not talking about ipod here ;-))Try it first. Canon and Nikon may not be the best choice for everyone and definitely they are not the only choice.

I'm always open to the operational rule of the universe, which is - "your mileage may vary." But in the end, you have your opinion, I have mine. If Zeiss was better than Canon or Nikon, you'd see them on more than just video cameras in the professional world. I'm not disregarding it. It's my opinion that at best, Sony's lenses are #3.
