Hello.
I agree, that there is no need to be stuck in one system, as long as you can afford
it. the only
drawback I see is that by adding a small C system, it would probably take some time to
learn its
interface, and *might* cause you to loose some shoots that you wouldn't have missed If
you had the
familiar Nikon system you use.
I too am considering trying an EOS 3 with an IS lens, just to see what all the fuss is
all about.
Worse comes ro worse, I'll just sell it and get an F100. But i am curious, as I havent
handled a C
body except for an old EOS 620 I had ages ago. I am interested to see how the IS
lenses work , and
especialy I want to see If they are sharp anough and contraty, otherwise they are
useless to see.
But I guess i wont know till i try it. One feature that i will definately love with
the EOS 3 is the
multi spot capability which i often use on my OM4Ti.

experience with them.
