Nice job on the 1100D, its a nice place to start with. One of my friends had the 1000D, his only problem with it was that he quickly found that he couldnt get the kind of quality that he was looking for so he upgraded to the 550D. I would have recommended going for the 600D, but each to their own. Try investing in some decent glass as you will be able to use it long after you replace your current camera body. All the best and have fun, photography is an awesome hobby
