My brother recently purchased the Canon D30 and I had the opportunity to
spend some time using it this past weekend.
Though I regularly use a Coolpix 880 and have been extremely happy with the
quality of the photos (when properly used, beats the pants off of print
scans on a consumer scanner), there is something to be said about the pure
satisfaction of using a proper SLR body with a good lens (he had the 28-70
2.8), not to mention the quality of the pictures overall!
I find I'm in a bind (as will probably other members of the list, I suspect)
when it comes to digital photography. My primary output medium is through
the Web so the digital space is definitely my first choice; however, while
quality on recent consumer-grade cameras is extremely good, I miss the
ability to use a proper selection of lenses (which I currently do have...).
Also, the ability to shoot a "roll" of shots and to get immediate feedback
and reshoot if necessary is a great thing!
I'm cringing at the thought of the price of the MZ-S (digital) whenever it
will be released and can only hope that their 2nd generation model with all
the enhancements follows shortly...
Cheers.
