Currently, I'd say that the $1k difference between a G2 and a digital SLR is such that for anybody working commercially, there was no way to justify the G2. At least if you already have either Nikon or Canon EF lenses already, so you could buy something using the same lenses and have a relatively full lineup right away. The depth of field problem is based on the sensor size -- so it will be solved in the Kodak DCS 14n, and in the Canon full-frame one whose model number I forget immediately (but the Kodak, at least, is $4k rather than $2k). (Okay, the depth of field problem is based on the lens focal length, but you select that based on the angle of view, so the sensor size is actually the variable between different cameras). -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net / http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
