I did try the 10D and the *istD on the Cebit and the *istD's viewfinder was definitely better. >>b. At least $300 price difference if the body is going to be a lightweight. >Hm, somehow I find it more logical to have it the other way around. >Lightweight should be a *feature*, and features cost money. ACK. >>c. Better UI. It's got to be easy to use. The Canon has too many button. Ever tried a Pentax Optio? They have a great UI - very simple, fast and logical. The *istD is comparable but more complex (as it is a DSLR). Again - far better than the *istD. Cheers, Heiko
