No, the D60 takes exactly the same pictures as id did before the birth of the 1Ds. The problem is that our expectations have increased. People were satisfied by the D60 because it was the best. But now it's not the best any more. It's a psychological thing. The EOS 650 was an extraordinary camera at the time of its release, and it would take today exactly the same pictures that it took fifteen years ago. However, it now looks like a toy compared with the EOS 1, 3, or even 30. The EOS 5 was a superb camera when it was released in 1992, and it still is exactly as good as it was back then. However, who would buy now a Canon camera without E-TTL and without even a real battery pack? Old cars look like trash when compared to new modern ones, even if their engines are in perfect condition and still run perfectly well. It's just that our idea of "perfectly well" has changed in the meantime. And this will be even more true in the future, as cameras tend to leave their world and move towards the computer world, where today's cutting-edge technology is tomorrow's trash. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
