If this is something that corporate minds can understand, but which ordinary minds can't, I'd say this points more to a problem with the ordinary mind than the corporate one. ========== Personally, John, I think the *istD is prefectly fine. So is the Digital Rebel. I can understand why people want more. I want quicker writer rate or whatever it is called, ie. the ability to take more fast shots in a row, and a larger buffer. But I am happy with what I have -- for now. To me a camera is just a tool. A lens is just a tool. And while I can like and even love some tools, that is all they are. Tools can be replaced. The results, photography, is what matters to me. Much more than any tools. Imagination and skill cannot be replaced. Although one always wants the best tools one can afford. But being able to afford the best tools is also always the hitch for me, personally. So I make do with tools that are less than top notch. I am on a camera list, so I expect concern with tools. But I have a lot less concern with them than many do. I also seem to replace my tools more frequently. Later, Marnie aka Doe
