Hi Evrim, >From the D60's technical description it also sounds like you can alter the character of the output right in the camera and have several settings saved that you can select from. Sort of like changing film but the grain staying the same. This is a move in the right direction and is the start of overcoming one of my other problems with digital, digital images all looking the same and that the basic characteristics of image sensor is fixed. Of course I realize that this can be overcome with virtually any photo editing program but having to go into an editor defeats the time and money savings of digital vs. conventional film photography big time. For a wedding photographer, it seems to me that you don't have enough time already. Film gives the photographer the ability to send film in, get proofs back in a day or two, stick them in a book and arrange a date to look at them with the client. Something I learned from a friend of mine who had an active studio (with 6 regular photogs), for 30+ years and also shot multiple weddings EVERY weekend (and surprising to me anyway, on weekdays!), was that you need to limit the client's options. If given too much choice, clients can and will suck up all of the available time not spent behind a camera leaving little time for the studio and running the business.
