Ah, but is it �2000 more awesome than the Kodak? I'm usually fairly free with my spending (especially when it comes to buying kit for work) however, I'm still waiting in the wings about this one. I have a Canon D60, it does everything I need it to. I would always want to have that little bit more resolution and the three point auto focus is a pain, but I can live with it. I'd definitely consider upgrading, but for how much? �5000 is a lot of money to invest in a camera that will quickly date, �1650 for a D60 was like buying a disposable camera, who cares if it goes out of date. whereas in the middle there is the Kodak, at around the �3000 mark. �3000 seems far more tempting from where I'm sitting. Paul PS Yes I know I'm not comparing the actual camera features here, and a lot depends on what you shoot. But for my uses I'd imagine looking at their specs, that they'd be pretty much the same. The Kodak actually has some nice touches, like the orientation sensor, and I bet the software is better than the Canon stuff. PPS But I do already have three expensive Canon lenses :-/ Problems, Problems, I think I'll sit back and wait a while longer. -- Paul Tansley Fashion & Beauty Photography London +44 (0) 7973 669584 http://www.paultansley.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
