I didn't know about the E1, it seems indeed ideal. The KM 12 is the opposite IMO I'd prefer sticking to my D then having to:
1/ Shake the camera to letit know you wanna change a setting 2/ Select the ISO on a selector hidden under a secret trap nobody uses 3/ turn the back wheel to the right, the front wheel to the left and push the middle button at the same time 4/ Go mad brcaue you realized you did a mistake and changed anothe setting... 5/ Close the secret trap ! LOL of course this is just what ythe A2 description of Godfrey is making me think. Really My D is easier :) 2006/10/17, Digital Image Studio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On 17/10/06, P. J.
