CANON EOS DIGITAL SLR REBEL XT 8.0

I purchased a black Canon EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT 8.0 right after christmas to replace a point and shoot digintal camera.  I saw the ads and wanted the clear 8.0 megapixel sharpness and crisp photos.  When it arrived, it was PRO: easy to set up and use right out of the box, and lightweight body even with battery in to carry around the neck.  After using in low light situations especially for auction photos CON: the flash sometimes seems to fail, and you have to reset the camera or adjust the light. This gets annoying after so many attempts or tries.   PRO:  it does produce high quality photos with sharpness and Super color.  You just cannot beat the quality of photos it produces!  CON:  i would like to see a metal body, perhaps a more quality workmanship in this expensive of a camera, but then would it be this lighweight and easy to carry? One must be very choosy when spending a good amount of money on a camera, especially if your income is derived from the photos. I spent $900 on mine and would say it's worth that much but would like to see the flash improved on future models.
