I absolutely love my FA77. I was devastated last year when I missed out on an A* 85 for $600, but in reality, the 77 is like shooting an 85 with 11.6M pixels rather than 14.2 and it is 2/3 of a stop slower. Generally when I need that 2/3 of a stop, I'm indoors and the extra length works against me. > > Regards > > Patrick Genovese > > > > > > On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 7:35 PM, CarlG<[email protected]> wrote: > > I bought one from B&H in February this year, used but 9+ rating, for USD 699 > > (and USD 60 in shipping).
