I believe that. Still there is the D30 to prove that one can do it far better. > Canon designed this system so that it would match the EOS > D2000, Kodak DCS 520, 560 systems that pros have used for years.

Because for example all custom functions are available in clear phrase without the need to consult the manual. Because you just need to tick the menu button once (if necessary with your nose) and then you are able to navigate through the whole menu with just thumb wheel and set button. One handed operation can save your life. On the 1D you always need both hands and you need the manual for the customs functions. Or a sticker somewhere on the camera. > Just because Canon uses one system on the D30 doesn't > make it right. No, but seeing the differences should make you see which is the better solution. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
