If you don't know what the features are or how they're useful, what, you're going to look up what else the camera can do in the field when the photo situation is in front of you? I do a lot of practicing with the camera to learn it. That's separate from when I go out to shoot my work or a job, which is when I focus on "creating good images". > In terms of buying cameras, you're wrong. > If you have the money, you should get the features you want. > Cameras are improving fast enough that you should. I haven't seen much that actually improves photographs' quality by a significant amount since 2005 or so. Mostly more speed and more pixels, neither of which are essential to my work. That's why I haven't seen much point to buying a K20D or E-3 ... The K10D and E-1/ L1 have more capability than I've used as yet; they all have the features I want. If my business were making 20x30 inch prints, I'd want the higher resolution.
