For me, it would have been about £180. The K10D is about £690, here. So now factor in the cost of your time, sitting in front of a screen (yawn....) for the extra number of images. Let's say 2000 (extra) images to assess and deal with. How long will that take? Or, to put it another way, how much effort will you be willing to put into that sort of assessment? It's not all about the upfront cost for many people. > > > mike wilson wrote: > > He eliminated (many of) those in-camera.
