Not sure how it'll effect your piccies though (w.r.t. brightness/contrast and depth). Actually at Dick Smith's, they're selling 1000D cameras with a twin lens kit for $878. Might pay to have a look.
DSLR experts can correct me here, (I sure am not one), but I thought
I read somewhere that a modded (internal filter swapped) DSLR could
be recalibrated by just shooting a white card in sunlight and saving that
white balance as a custom WB?
