Should I go Canon digital?

2003-09-15 Thread Lasse Karlsson
I want a digital camera. I need it. For a couple of years I have been eagerly waiting for an affordable to me Pentax DSLR. Now we've got the ist D at $1699. I can't afford it, other than by taking some uncomfortable financial chances. Then the Canon 300D appeared at half the price of the istD. (An

Be careful with the 5000s, though... I've seen more of those come back for repair than any other digital we've sold. Ditto with out-of-the-box failures. Nikon seems to have improved the 5400, but I've had nothing but bad experiences with several 5000s. YMMV, of course. chris On Mon, 15 Sep

Kodachrome 64 Prepaid discontinued?

2003-09-15 Thread Chris Brogden
I heard a few weeks ago that Kodak Canada is no longer offering Kodachrome 64 with processing included to retailers. The film itself is not being discontinued, and countries like the U.S. that don't allow processing-included film won't notice a difference, but Canadian buyers might want to stock
