Dear Shangara all those "old" reviews" require another review after the Adobe Camera Raw came out. Files from a D60 will go matter-of-fact into a 13MP size while processing in ACR in a breeze and with amazing quality. It can be a fine excercise to see how the S2 files already in the 13 MP size behave with the additional "push" to larger files in ACR. THat is the real relevance of shooting Raw. As soon as software to process the files improve, so will the quality of final results. The Canon 10D just gave me confirmation of something I said last year about all 6MP cameras having more life span than most were expecting. Shooting with a 10D as main and a D60 as back up ( or simultaneously) is ideal for a heavy shooter. The myth of investing in digital every 6 months has to be reviewed as well.
