I'm shooting for the Temple University News now and next semester I'll be required to have one for my documentary photography class. Question is, do I go with the outdated 6MP Epson R-D1 and use the great lenses I already have or do I buy into a new system and invest in new lenses? Mind you, finds are rather tight so I'm trying to stretch my dollars as much as possible. I'm thinking the Epson is already outdated, but then again, aren't all digitals by the time they hit our camera bags? I can save $$$ with an Epson and not buy any new lenses. If I go for a Nikon or Canon, I'm also in for lenses, none of which I own anymore for either system. Any opinions? M8 is out of the question. Try not to mention it. Thanks, Phil Forrest
