I do a bit of live band photography, and the canon's i have used have been great, currently EOS20D, close up stuff kind of negate's need for any image stabilizing, unless you'r quite shaky. Good thing about going canon as loads of cheap second hand lenses. I use a 50mm lense with massive aperture/f stop for doing dark stuff without a flash (most gigs wont allow flash) and get really sexy arty stuff without trying. You should try lookin at some recondition sites, you can pick up older pro-level stuff at good prices. The eos 300 is really good if your blowing things up really big cos it has a full size sensor, so you get less distortion on the edges of pics, even in comparison to cameras with larger pixel rating. Only reason i go for Canon is cheaper second hand stuff is available cos of the massive amount of it.
