Sure it is. But for me, I simply love digital shooting and the more features I can get on a camera the better. For example I hope on th next generation to get ECF and partial metering with the focus point. I will likely sell the 10D at that point though. I'm sure with the difference from paid and got I'll be happy that I've gotten my money's worth. Sometimes I feel as if I already have. I have no doubt that my 10D will still be working fine in 20 years, Bob. It's a great camera, it's just lacking a couple of features that will make me upgrade from it. I'd love to keep it as backup, but that's kind of an expensive option keeping something I could sell for $1000 and perhaps never use. I got old film cameras for that :-) Jim Davis - checkout the Motorcycle Headlight Relay Kit at: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/html/bike_acc_.html
