Bought a DSLR

In that range, one good CCD is far better than three lower end CCDs.  The tradeoff is that you're getting better light capture and sacrificing a bit of color purity.  The good CCD will be more efficient in low light situations because of quality, whereas the three CCDs wouldn't be as good in low light but you'd have one each for R, G, and B so colors would be sharper.

Honestly, the color difference is barely perceptible if you're not using it to get large print material.

Since you're getting it just before a new baby, you've made the right choice, as most kid/baby events happen indoors in low light.  Low light performance is very important in getting top quality shots indoors without extra light management effort.

Thanks for the info, Chad.  :cheers:

It should be here on Friday.  Can't wait!

ChadTower:

No problem.  The same goes for digital video cameras, BTW.  The cameras with three quality CCDs are way expensive so go for the best single CCD unless you really want to drop some cash.

shmokes:
Is it even using a CCD?  Canon DSLR cameras (at least their entry level ones) use a CMOS sensor.

boykster:
Yep, uses a single CCD...

nice camera.

A good friend of mine just picked up a Canon EOS-1D digital SLR.......
