I like my EOS 55 (black) so much that it will take the equivalent
camera in digital to make me switch. ECF, fast AF, light weight, 3
metering modes, nearly silent operation, etc etc.

I dunno why this little camera feels so good, but it does.

I hear so much about AF problems with D30 and D60.

Oh, and prices have to come down a bit too. The latest and greatest
might be the equivalent of my EOS, but the price is just too high
right now.

This D80 sounds pretty good.

One thing though about digital, besides the battery and price
problems, is that I really like a light camera.

I would love to not have to worry about finishing a roll, scratches on
my negs, etc. I'm ready for a digital EOS, but the price isn't quite
ready for me.

But I'll keep the EOS 55, the ultimate analogue camera, at least for
me.
