The versatility of the Digital Regel is that it can do both. I do not feel insulted using it, although I prefer the build quality of the EOS 3. But my wife would ot want to lug it around, or have to learn the modes. If I had a bunch of Nikon lenses, I owuld look at ht eD70. I agree she should hold obth, first. I was going to buy the original Digilux until I learned it is NOT for left eyed shooters (your nose is smashed into the control dial). The other digital I would consier is the New 8mp Sony with the f2.0 Zeiss zoom lens. Ididn't like the viewfinder, but if your wife used the G5, she might tolerate it (a projected image rather than looking through the lens). Good luck, people will probably fight over the G5 if you sell it. Larry
