It's built like a tank and faster than the D20 (x1.5), but it doesn't appear to be light years ahead of it in image quality. The 1Ds II now shoots 4 fps. I think it's biggest problem is size. It's huge. The old 1Ds is now going for below 5K, but be aware that it's pretty noisy above 400 asa. www.dpreview.com offers some very good comparisons. feli _______________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
