    Troy,as you may know,I had a 1 series before. I had problems at first with sharping the images.I over came that. I traded it and had a 30D and 5D.
    Both fine cameras btw.
    I missed the bright screen,able to see all the info in bright sunlight and when I aim that little red square on something even if there is clutter around it,it goes bam! Focus and fire:):
    And besides,someone has to keep up with machinegunner:D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
