Hi i have to respectfuly disagree with most of ur opinions. i've used those consumer / prosumer digicams before and know very well what they are capable of. They are no M or R body replacements, true, but not as bad as u have pronounced them to be. Either u're doing something wrong, or i'm doing something right with them :) Also, fyi, full scale 35mm type digital reflexes no longer cost $4k - u can get a good one under $2k. And from your last 3 sentences, you don't seem to have used anyone of these digital SLRs before in ur life :) Boon Hwee - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
