Hi Sam,

FYI, hereafter a copy the conclusion of the article I mentionned earlier:

D100 strength:
- -precision of flash system (D-TTl 3D)
- -Excellent correction of electronic noise
- -Sensibility and fast AF
- -Battery life
D100 weakness:
- - soft image
- - complex menu
- - irregular exposure
- - no PC socket
- - no High speed synchro flash
- - no wireless TTL measure

D60 strength
- - excellent performance of the CMOS captor
- - fast and sensibility of AF
- - good and logiacal ergonomy
- - battery life
- - good finish (material, construction,..)
D60 weakness:
- - only 3 AF captors
- - price too high for amateur (??? D100=3000 Euros D60=3300 Euros ???)
- - electronic noise @ more than 800 iso

If you come than to the stars they give out of a max of 5:

item: D100 /EOS D60
real resolution: 4/5
electroic noise: 5/4
exposure: 4/5
flash exposure: 5/4
colors: 5/5
ergonomy:4/5
fast actions usability: 4/4
landscape: 4/5
studio functionality 4/5

Finally the main difference they noticed is the sharpness of picture,
the Canon is ahead. They noticed also that the D100 they tested is a
pre-release and that they might still be some improvments later...

Hope it helps, krgds,logan.
