hmm.. 

Dump the 10D
Dump the MZ-S (I believe someone on the list is looking for one)

Reasons for this?
You may already know how much better (imho) the 20D performs over the 10D
with respect to exposure (especially with flash). The 10D, while no slouch,
is pointless to hang onto if you have the 20D - if you want a back up film
body at some point, Elan 7's are going for a song just about every used
place you look.

The MZ-S is a film body that I know very little about - but based on what
you've said with respect to the crop factor and your lens selection - it
sounds like it won't hurt you to miss this camera either. To reiterate what
one Camera Store Manager asked of my friend a couple weeks ago when my
friend was inquiring as to whether to get film or digital SLR: "Depends,
are you going to be like 90% of my customers or 10% of my customers? Film
will cost you more and unless you're shooting just B&W, get the digital."

Cheers
Dave

Thinking aloud. This is sort of a little quiz to help
me make up my mind.
Here's the situation: I will be selling some gear to
help fund another, pretty pricey, purchase.

I have a 20D, 10D, *istD and MZ-S

The 20D is staying. The 10D is definitely going. One
of either the *istD or the MZ-S will be going. The
question is: which one?
I'm not a great user of wide-angle lenses so that
digital crop/film argument is irrelevant (the 18-55 I
bought with the istD has yet to be used). The other
lenses I own - 43, 77, 300, 24-90 work all equally
well with digital and film. I'm about 85% certain
about which of the two cameras I'll be selling. I
don't have any specific requirements for the camera
I'll be keeping (the Canon is my dogsport camera -
that has a specific purpose)

My question to you all is - which would you sell/keep
and why?

Wendy
