Good thing it didn't come in second place! More details can be found here: <http://www.bigpicture.net/index2.php?openchan=yes&channelnum=11&content=279 8&displaynow=yes> If that URL doesn't work, here is a partial quote: "Digital Camera Shoot-Out Winners--Images from the Prosumer/Professional category were output through a G5 Power Mac running Adobe Photoshop CS, and printed on an Epson Photo Stylus 9600 inkjet printer. Judges based their votes on the overall quality of the digital print and the accuracy of color as compared to samples of fabric worn by studio models. $600-$999: Konica Minolta A200; Digital SLR: Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D; Advanced Digital SLR: Leica DMR (uncontested)." I haven't been able to find out which other camera models competed against the 7D. -dan c. At 07:20 AM 08-03-05 +1100, Rick Dykstra wrote: >Saw this on another list.
