Just yesterday, I advised a colleague to dump the EOS 350D he had borrowed, and go play with an *istDs. He wasn't happy with the 350 and assumed all DSLRs at this price point were going to be the same. He's on his way to try the Ds :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
