There is not only the money, which is sizeable but also the time spent with the thing.<BR/><BR/>My feelings about 35mm SLR's is that technology allowed us a new plateau over the camera designs it replaced, tilts swings viewing screens loupes etc. So to digital offers the opportunity for another such advancement. I had hoped digital would free us from large cameras with flapping mirrors. Now obviously there are engineering constraints but nevertheless I was inclined to buy the first small camera with a large sensor.<BR/><BR/>I would suggest that if this will be the "family" camera, the one to take pictures of the the kids playing then perhaps it's not the correct choice. I was disappointed by the delay between shots while it writes to the card. Perhaps future firmware upgrades will fix this. The shutter lag some mention is easily eliminated with the manual focus and so just isn't a problem for me.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, while I would RUN from a camera with the problems I mentioned ... the images I have gotten, from the very start, just amaze me. The quality of the lens is substantially more than I had expected and the sensor, completely unknown to me previously. is a gem. These images have caused me to take another critical look at the last 2 years work with my Nikon DSLR and frankly a lot of my stuff just doesn't warrant the ratings I had given it.<BR/><BR/>There are some (me) who feel that good cameras can be resold for a major percentage of their cost, which would mitigate the damage from a bad decision. Best of luck.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>CharlesCharles Maclauchlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371804975922943864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602721531867872894.post-19984991761089146922008-05-24T02:57:00.000-07:002008-05-24T02:57:00.000-07:00HiThanks for taking the time to post all this usef...Hi<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking the time to post all this useful info about the dp1.
