Saw the dpreviews.com review but still dun understand (maybe I'm still new)
I just saw this thread and it's jeez....140 replies...
For me, i find the following features attractive:
1) Larger range of aperture, F2.8 - F11
2) Fast focusing in good light (Passive External AF sensor & CCD AF (TTL))
3) Excellent implementation of manual focus (nice 'focus check' zoom button, focus ring, autofocus one-touch button in MF mode)
4) Flash hotshoe supports third party flash units
5) Accepts both Compact Flash Type I/II and SmartMedia
6) All major controls on outside of camera (additional settings via SHIFT button)
7) Good battery life (now takes four AA's)
8) Area AF (49 selectable AF points - 7x7 grid)
9) Shutter speed highest at 1/10000sec (manual mode)
10) Relatively good quality at ISO 800 and 1600
mpenza and tweek, anything else to add? :devil:
