Another question, and a pretty common dilemma. I have used Canon products
for quite a while, for years an FX 1 and more recently an EOS 5. I have a
couple of pretty good lenses for my purposes: basically travel and ski
photography. I had anticipated keeping my EOS 5 and getting a good scanner
(FS4000US or CoolScan IV) and a printer like the Canon S900. I have a lot
of slides I use in my university classes and printing some of the more
appealing ones (for me) seems cost efficient. I could keep shooting slides
and life would go on as usual.
But now I have heard more and more about Canon going digital, etc. on this
site. The D 60 reads like a step in the right direction. Discard the idea
of a scanner, have the older slides I really like printed by my local guy,
and still get the photo printer. Instant gratification and only a slight(?)
drop off in resolution. Maybe a problem with skiing but I also have a
digicam for that. I'm not getting any younger and don't care to wait five
(four, three?) years for another "breakthrough."
Have I missed anything in this meandering. Is there anything else I should
plug into this equation, other than that I am teaching less and therefor the
slides per se are not as important as they used to be?
I guess the bottom line is, should I replace the EOS 5 with the D 60.
Thanks in advance for your insights,
Sandy
