Look at the Discussion for Minolta DSLR: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1024&message=4493606 This post is good: "Is it me, or does the new Canon 10D and the new Pentax *ist look pretty good? I'm afraid if Minolta doesn't hit the market soon with a moderate to low priced DSLR I feel that they may have missed the boat and be relegated to the point and shoot market. I hate to say it, but that's my opinion." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
