Because if nobody else were around you'd argue with your own shadow whether the sun was shining. > > But was it a scientific comparison or was it swapping cameras and > handling it for a few minutes?

It was not a scientific comparison, I was helping a friend learn how to use his new D7000 for photographing blues dancing. I was very excited to have a chance to try it out. I was very tempted to buy one when they came out because it was the first "affordable" nikon that would work well with my box of nikon mount lenses. We were both using glass that was around f/1.8. It was a very informal comparison, and could have been done a lot more scientifically. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
