ed my right thumb to turn the shutter speed dial and my left

frame rates are extremely useful in certain

Obviously experience in how to shoot action is
very important, but getting a sequence requires
high fps.

But again you lose out on the wide end. If they build a digi-645 it better
be full-frame. Personally I can live with the aps-sized sensor on the
*ist-D because I don't shoot much on the wide end and I've "gained" where it
