Pros: -Large capacity; formatted, it actually comes to closer to 15 gigs. -Relatively speedy; 8 m/s give or take. -Smaller than I thought it'll be.

Cons: -I feel I'm going to lose the cap sooner or later but that's with any flash drive I guess. -The rubber casing attracts a lot of dust and dirt.

Pros: This being my first SLR, I had some reservations about the XT which by some accounts is considered outdated. The price though ($499 then) plus the free CF card and 60GB drive did it for me and I have no regrets. I read on Cnet about its' cheap plastic construction, but it seems strongly constructed to me and I can't tell the difference from my friend's Nikon D40. The 18-55mm kit lens which is supposed to suck is pretty sweet for the price (the difference between the body and lens kit being only $40.)

Cons: Has a hard time autofocusing during night photography.

Overall Review: When shooting with the lens kit even in good lighting conditions, some of the pictures came out blurred (although I didn't notice the difference on the screen before importing to the computer.) An IS lens (EF 28-135 in my case) seems like a worthy investment.

Pros: It raised my Windows Experience Index from 4.5 to 5.2. I didn't notice any considerable difference until I turned aero off (which I had off) which baffles me. Good ram, cheap, and fast shipping as usual.

Cons: None really so far.
