I couldn't agree more Shel. Despite this, I can't think in the lines Bob suggested. Not now. In not too distant future, I'll probably buy the new body with shake reduction. Then, I'll be using the DS as a backup body. With an "obsolete" backup body I might be willing to take the risk. If I drop

Kodak's 14mp DSLR's did not use Kodak sensors. It used a third party CMOS sensor. Kodak doesn't (or at least didn't at that time) make CMOS sensors. Kodak's sensors were too expensive to use in a camera at that price point. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/gray

Very interesting indeed. As always in weapons races, countermeasures will eventually be developed. For instance, a filter that modifies these noise patterns to make it unrecognizeable. I'm not sure if their technology allows this sort of countermeasures, as I have only basic knowledge of crypt
