Remember though that, apart from AF, the main progress & attention is
in the image-recording qualities, equivalent to a new film, not in
the camera or optics itself (which, in our generation, has been on
the end of its development/perfection anyway....a camera from 1960
makes hardly any better pix than one of today, only much easier
(AF/IS/flash/etc).
To me, AF is hardly relevant right now....my DCS-1 from 1994 (based
on 1n) probably still does heaps better than the 10D of
today....;))))
(and only a full-frame 1Ds is tempting....can't wait to see the life-
cycles decline even further, for dropping second-hand prices....;))
