dB: My thoughs ... ask yourself the following question when you shoot: Are you having to time and time again compensate for your cameras shortcomings when you shoot? In other words, do you feel like your camera is limiting what you can do? Be honest with yourself when you answer that question. Is it the camera's shortcomings or that your skills aren't quite there yet. If it's the camera, then you might consider ugprading ... if not, then don't worry about it. Maybe at some later date you'll find that your 8700 can't do what you need it to do and at that time you can see what your options are. Hahaha....hey Solrac ...you wouldn't happen to be related to Tedzo now, would you? hahahaha. I'll soon be doing some 16x20 prints. Will be interesting to see how the 10D does with that size. My 8x10/8x12 prints and lower have been sweet. -=>Donald
