I'm hoping for a digital around the F80 or F100 bracket. The 2000 Euros would fit there. According to my friend at the camera store, he was at an information meeting with one of the biggies and they (the biggies) admitted: The market for digital simply caught them off-guard. They had just not planned for all the pros AND all the consumers going over to digital so fast. Now they want to play catch-up. Good news for us. Thanks, Steve.
