Weather resistance and in-camera IS for prime lenses. It's also a very good UI (though dunno how it compares with Canikon DSLRs, I've only had Canikon P&S). > What would you buy, if you were a beginner? Dunno. Certainly not a DSLR until I had some confidence that I would stick with it; that's actually why I'm still not buying a DSLR... I have discovered that what I shoot is at least partly dependent on the capabilities of my equipment. After getting my first digital camera (Canon A710), I got hooked on "flower porn" (macro photography), something that wasn't really an option when I was doing film shots. So if I were advising someone, I'd ask them to think about what kind of photography they want to do before spending significant thought on what they should purchase. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- 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.
