(Canon charging $7-8000 for the 1DsMkII) Now you are in the realm of medium format backs which will not be much bigger. Of course you could look at it the other way, a smaller, lighter, more versatile medium format camera for less money. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 9/14/06, Aram Langhans <dnaplasmid@compwrx.com> wrote: > > OK.
