Take Off...for the Great White North, as Bob and Doug MacKenzie recommended, with a little help from Geddy Lee, oh so long ago. Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm off to Alaska very, very, very early in the morning. (I'm not looking forward to that part, in case you couldn't tell. The reason they shoot people at dawn is because most of us would rather die than be up that early.)
So, forgive me for not thanking you all individually for the recent

s. But, thank you all! They are definitely appreciated. And, I apologize for not being able to look at all your deviations. I know I'll be missing some great art, but I also know I'll never catch up, so why even pretend?
I'll be back in a week or so, assuming I don't fall off the boat or get eaten by a bear. Take off, eh! Hoser!

Leave only tracks, take only pictures.
It just seems like I'm not the only one that has troubles like this, either bad service or none at all

I'm sorry, though not surprised, to learn the same problem exists over there. On the other hand, I had four or five different salespeople approach me at Best Buy. But, I know better than to ask them anything.

That mom & pop store is exactly what Phoenix doesn't have, and just what I would have preferred. But, unless there's one that's so shy that they don't even advertise in the phone book, there isn't one. Of course, if people keep using them for research but not buying from them, they'll all be gone, soon.

I'm waiting to see the Sony 350 too. I like the 700 but it may be more camera than I have the skill to use.

Secondly i would recommend my D80, it is very good in price and also you get a 18-135lens, the grip is excellent as are the controls (easy to reach and all that) it has a good weight being not to heavy yet not feather light (i definitly agree about the weight! If a camera is too light i am almost afraid to break it...that said it may be a good idea so i will take more care but anyway lol) it has 10MP and very good quality, you've seen some of my newer work right? although i haven't done that much heavy work persay, but from what i have done it comes out perfectly with RAW format and also it gives the potion to save both Raw and either High, medium or low quality JPEG's which is very usful when you want to quickly look through images on the laptop after. The control with a RAW image is amazing, as you know lol
Anyway must nip off. Be good...!
I wouldn't worry about the A700 being beyond your ability to use. You've come a long way in a short time, since I started watching your work and, if you can teach at college level, you can learn anything necessary to operate a camera. It's more a question of how much control you want over the process, and how much the camera can make things easier for you. The higher end cameras offer those advantages, but they still let you do the point-and-shoot option when you want.
I've been reading what I can find on the 300/350s and one of the things I hadn't considered until recently is that the 14 MP sensor shows you EVERY tiny little flaw in your lenses. I have some good ones, but I don't have world-class glass, so that kind of worries me. But, I'll keep reading, and see if other people run into problems with that.
