I agree on that as far as the analog part of the camera is regarded. It is a true EOS-1v. My complaints target the user interface for the digital features of this camera. For 99% of all settings you have to press and hold a button while you dial the needed value with the wheel. If you let go of the button the camera will set whatever just was displayed, it does not allow to doublecheck and then press "Set" like on the D30. Also it forces two handed operation where the D30 can easily be operated with just one hand and you only need to press menu once to enter all sub menus with only wheel and set button. Custom functions on the D30 are clearphrase, on the 1D cryptic numbers again. Why in hell? > It is too early to give up on this camera. Unfortunately already the lack of a central "set" button makes healings of this premature and crummy interface impossible. Which makes me skip this model unless they fix the banding and the price drops belox 4000 USD. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
