I never saw a *ist D in the flesh, let alone had one in my hands - until today, when I got mine in the mail from Berlin. I paid a little less than 10.000 kr (1.600 USD) in Berlin. I can only say: It's worth it! In Denmark the list price is 2.585 USD, but I could get it for app. 2000 USD. Jens

As to the 10D, have never seen one in the flesh. Trevor, Price once told you to buy the MZ-60; was that a good decision? How much money did you lose on it so as to upgrade to a more functional camera? Add the fact that you already have a few Pentax lenses and see the big equation, not just the initial outlay. My feeling is that the 300D is a money-pinching instrument on behalf of Canon, a brutally downsized <fill in the right Canon model>. I hope that Graywolf was right in his comments the other day that the Baby-D will not be the same thing, though my motive for that is all to do with brand allegiance rather than any impending personal choice. Kostas (I think the main question is "do I want to go digital" and thus still think that my next camera will be an -S, not a -D).
