Yes, Nikon has faster flash sync, but unless that's absolutely essential to you, it's pretty meaningless compared to other features and image quality. And Konica-Minolta may have a great anti-shake feature, but their hardly a player in the pro market. As to the more natural colors of the DMR - I'd say that in the age of photoshop, that's a pretty meaningless advantage, unless everyone else has such crappy color that it can't be corrected. And the glass - is in the eye of the shooter or beholder. On 11/10/05 3:39 PM, "Didier Ludwig" <rangefinder@screengang.com> wrote: > B.D., > The noise issue is very important to me, too.
