I bought a T90 because it uses AA batteries. Once I got it in my hands I realized how great a machine it is. I have four FD lenses for it. I also own a Canon EOS-RT, the one with the pellicle mirror. I have never moaned that I couldn't use the FD lenses on it. I got a couple of zooms for the RT that I now use with my first dslr, the D30.
