The weird twist on this is when you have Word's quicksave feature turned on. Then the .DOCs are generally a mess and impossible to translate. On the rare occasion I use Word (hate it), I always configure it to always save .RTF files and never save .DOCs. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 9:42 AM, P. J.

What would this be? K5 innards in an LX body? Were the ergonomics of the LX that much better than the K7/K5? I've never used the legendary body so I really don't know. Now, If they could squeeze the K5 into the MX body That would be slick. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 11:44 AM, John Sessoms

The MX was just a bit too small. The LX was damned near perfect. However the LX's claim to fame was it's system with interchangeable finders etc. I don't know of any DSLR with interchangeable finders which probably means something. On 11/14/2010 2:33 PM, Steven Desjardins wrote: What would

Kodak DCS/DCS-100 had interchangeable finders, being essentially an F3HP with a bunch of crap stuck on. Also the Hasselblad H3D/II/H4D models do (which are all digital-only bodies, not film bodies with digital backs). -Adam On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 2:47 PM, P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com

For me, the MX was an ideal size for a walk around body.The E-P1 serves that purpose now. It's not ideal composing on the LCD but at least this camera stays out of the way when I'm doing whatever else I was there to do. Although I am taking the E-P1 and the K7 on a trip to Disney World
