I tend to recommend a decent mirrorless cam *without* interchangeable lens... I'm not exactly a big fan of the "with better gear I might get more into" idea ...
Did you have CHDK installed on your 350D?
I'm working on a couple different LED based light painting rigs, some laser light painting and some stop motion stuff. I'm more of a hardware guy. Yes, I'm doing it in the wrong order. Should have the camera gear first then build the other things second. Didn't do that. My best friend is a working photographer. His rig will do anything I/we would ever need. His schedule and mine very seldom match up. It's awesome when it does, though... hence the "with better gear" comment. If I had a sports car, I promise I would drive it differently than my pick-up truck. If the capability is there, chances on me using, or branching out to try, new things is vastly greater than not having the capability at all.
Never heard of CHDK before now, but going to try it asap. Looks quite interesting.
The majority of things I want to accomplish is low/no light with the shutter open. Yeah, I take my current camera on vacation, pics of the kids, normal stuff stuff like that, but what originally caught my eye with ML was the dual iso and the added range. Really, *anything* that's been discussed is "better" than what I have currently (which isn't bad by any means).
