If price is no problem, buy two or three systems, with full sets of lenses and accessories. That's what I'll be doing. 1. *istD and Pentax gear for walking and hiking, and 2. D100 and Nikon gear for bicycle tours and aerobic workouts, and 3. EOS 1D II and Canon gear for the times when my valet brings along the equipment truck. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com ------------------------------- Sure John, as far as I can also think for my self of using two or three system. But, I will also include Minolta (sorry , Konica Minolta) for the day I forget to take the others. What is sure, is that switchin to Canon will not be a big lossing money for him, that is why, I do not know what to tell him !
