I sell these cameras at London Drugs and absolutely love the T1. In my opinion it's the finest DSLR on the market for a beginning photographer. There's lots of room to grow into the camera and it has features that you'll discover and use for years. The live view, I think, is what sets this camera apart. While you rarely want to use live view when shooting (whenever possible use the eyepiece), what sets the T1 apart from any other camera in the class is an instant feedback in the manual modes as to how exposed your picture will look when you begin to fiddle with the manual settings. If your ISO is too low for your aperture or shutter speed, your picture will appear dark in the Live View. It allows you to adjust perfectly for a situation before you're ready to take your first pic!
Enjoy!
