Yes! It is a very nice little camera, it has excellent image quality, good autofocus and acceptable speed. The body is pretty small and very light, but it is more sturdy than what you might think - I've used it in winter at -20 celsius degrees, and I've used it even under pouring rain...it still works flawlessy
I plan to upgrade next year to a 1 series, but for now the 350D is great - IHMO it has the best price/performance ratio than every other Canon.
This is one of my favourite photos that I've taken with the 350D (Canon 350D, 600mm f/4 L IS USM, 1.4x TC, 1/2000 f/5.6, iso 400, tripod). In my Portfolio and Galleries you can see many other photos taken with 350D and various lenses.

My mom has one. It has most of the features you'd want and good enough image quality. Feels uncomfortable in my hands though because of the small size. My hands aren't very big either. I wouldn't hesistate to use it as my backup camera. However I did lose a potentially classic moving Amish buggy shot in Minnesota by a hair because of the weak 2.5 frames per second. Ughh. I might have been better off not using the multiple shots and just tried getting one shot considering the fps of the Rebel XT.
it is a fine camera. I will prefer it to 35mm film anytime. For landscapes, I'm not so excited though. May be am used to see the larger film and details. From what I have read 5D is a great tool for landscapes, hopefully I will have one in another two months.
