I'm sighing because I can't afford it, but kinda need it, or will sooner rather than later. I used to poo-poo the whole FF vs crop debate/fanboy-rant, but not anymore. The necessity for raw, clean megapixels becomes clear when you start retouching studio shots. > I'd like to have a D800E, but I'd need two, and that makes it too costly. > Working with just one camera is asking for trouble.

A valid argument, but can you imagine two 645D's instead? $22K Can. just for bodies, not counting glass. I can not afford two D800E's much more easily than two 645D's. Anyway, right now the backup body for my K20D is a K100D Super. :-) I'm willing to endure a little risk to jumpstart my photo career. If I managed to scrape up the wherewithall for a D800E and a couple of zooms, the K20D would be its backup. > Paul -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
