Tom P. I think the GTX is the model that uses DX coding for setting the ISO and thus has no way of overriding the exposure, other than the 2x compensation swith these cameras usually have. The GTE I think is more or less the same camera but with manual ISO setting, thus permitting a lot of control. I can't really think of any reason to get the DX-only version myself, unless you habitually forget to reset the ISO when you change films... Joe Berenbaum
