I concur. If I had known this a few years ago, when I was selling my LX and some lenses, I would not have purchased a D60. I would have hunted down a well used 1D. (This before Pentax brought out the *ist D). Sensor size is (almost) everything. That and the build quality and attention to detail of such a level of gear is outstanding. If only the MZ-D had become a reality! Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
