> Anyone else out there think they will "upgrade" from their D60 to a 10D?
Not me. I looked at the comparisons on dpreview too, and didn't see much difference. The writer really had to stretch and strain to make the 10D sound like progress. There are 3 major factors that could in time make me want to trade up from my D60 to a 10D, but all three of them would have to draw raves from 10D users, and I think the probability is low: 1. Discover that they have really cleaned up the D60 low-light AF mess 2. Discover that they have really cleaned up the D60 E-TTL flash mess 3. Come to believe in the general image quality boost due to the DIGIC. So far, based on the G2 vs. G3, I do not believe that boost is significant. For me, the 10D's higher ISO's, extra focus points, titanium shell and improved ergonomics are not major factors, although they would of course be nice to have. (I also think the 10D's smaller single-unit battery charger is a plus, not a minus.) There is one major anti-10D factor: failure to increase resolution. Progress in digital photography is still largely about increasing the number of clean, low-noise pixels. The 10D doesn't contribute much in that department. On the other hand, I might sell my S45 for an S50. And for folks who don't have a 6MP Canon DSLR yet and want to get one, the 10D means they're lucky to be able to start with a fancier camera for a lower price. --Ken S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
