Thanks for the link, Julian. Took forever to download the brochures, but they're interesting. Which reminds me - wasn't someone asking a while back about whether Canon has ever elucidated their metering algorithms? And whether Canon, like Nikon, use image databases that are matched against the current camera metering? The EOS 2000 brochure at the site Julian mentions includes the following line: >The EOS 5 has equally as powerful metering power.
