He is becoming a pretty decent photographer, shooting sports at NCSU. My sister would like to get him some N**** equipment for Christmas. What store do you North Carolinians frequent? Anything that can compete with B&H? I've been preaching the gospel to him (& them), but am not persuasive enough. Besides which ones of us are still with our first system anyway? TIA Bruce Bowman Killingworth, CT. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- You can try Charlotte Camera. Ask your nephew the next time he is at a major sports event, count the number of beige lenses v. black (black being Nikon). Bet he only counts only 2 black for every 10-12 beige. Tell him the reason sports pro photogs use Canon is the AF speed and quality super telephoto optics. Same at rodeos, track meets (Olympics is a good exmaple, about 80% were Canon shooters), and other events. Peter K
