The D70 is a fine camera but I'd want more weatherproofing. I understand the budget issues are holding you back but if my butt were on the line and I was in a place like the Amazon where batteries and support were hard to get I'd bring a film backup body just in case. > Hey glad you like your Sony too. I was afraid to post about it here since > it's not really considered by most photo snobs (generally speaking not those > here) to be a pro camera. Hmmm I wonder if my holga is considered a pro camera? ;-) ------------------------------------------------------- Lawrence W.
