I handled a D300 for about 20 minutes last week and I'll agree it was damned speedy. It also had a lot better controls than the D200 (which is also, though, darned fast) Didn't really much care for the interface on either of those two, though. It made me realize that while I pine for the "speedy autofocus" fields that the other brands have, that's about the only thing in the other camps of which I am envious. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
