Hi Skip/C.P.,
Yes I meant to say entry level "pro" body. As to the EOS 3 vs. the EOS
5/A2E I'm pretty much with you guys except for the much improved sealing,
stronger frame and much improved AF system of the EOS 3. IMO, for most of
the target market this body seems aimed at, they are largely issues that are
less likely to be important.
Cheers/Chip
