amazing camera and i realized then it was time to sell my canon equipment and "go to the dark side".

what sealed the deal was the resolution quality at iso 1600 that made dusk shooting possible with noise under reasonable control with some imagenomic noiseware and cs3 magic in the digital darkroom.
