I can really only afford one. But it sounds like a good idea if you need them for different things. > But if you have to rely on your digital camera for "pro" purposes, > you > obviously have to get some serious camera than mine! :) I'm not really wanting to go digital for my studio. I'm mostly just learning digital so I won't get left behind just in case I'm forced into it in the future. I really love my manual Pentax 35mm SLR. I've had it for nearly 15 years and still get my best photos out of it. > take care, > Achal Thank you, Achal, for responding. I'm keeping your mail for future reference. I plan to do a lot of research before I buy. Shyrell http://yadtel.net/~jmelara
