Thanks for your answers. after looking on the web, on the page that Michelle brought up. on ebay for prices and doing a few hours of research. I'm going to buy it. the deal is more than excdellent at 200$ canadian for the kit. it includes all of the booklets and a few more stuff I haven't noticed when I listed the kit. (like an auto-winder and one more lens) the lens fastest speed is 1/1000 which is ok for me and the camera has some great automatic features also. So has people are going digital, i'm going backward!
