> Nikon appears to be slightly ahead but it can change anytime I'll say. I'm looking to buy an entry-level / low-midrange DLSR and in just the 2 months since I started comparing, even more models have been introduced, all with their own pros and cons. And it pays to shop around. Although it's out of my price range, I see the Canon EOS 1D Mark III offered at anywhere between NZ$5999 and NZ10,500. And in that time the price of a Canon EOS 1000D, which I initially considered, has dropped NZ$400 to $899. That's just amazing What worries me is that I'll get so flustered that I'll give in to an impulse and just buy "something". But I like to think patience is one of my virtues -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
