Hey,
I got an EOS300 for my birthday last month, and I love it. I must say, after just shooting 40mm pluss-minus 3mm for years, being able to switch lenses was liberating! Anyway, I was wondering if you have experience with other EOS cameras that will take EF lenses and are AF-compatible.
The EOS30/Elan 7 variants seem well-built and very functional - and inexpensive! They reminded me of the "analog 40D". Then there's the EOS3, and the EOS1 variants. The EOS3 looked awkward, not having the mode-dial, but instead a button. It might be a bothersome way to change mode. The EOS1's cost quite a bit more than the EOS30 cameras, but they "come with" a battery grip, and may have better AF motors. Comfortable button layout and camera workflow are important to me.
For landscapes, and casual use with friends, maybe in low-light situations, which would be the best? Are there other options?
I appreciate any input!

edit: I see the EOS 1V manages to expose 10 frames per second... holy cow!
