Maan, Preach on brother, I realy knew I wanted $4,000 camera, now I know I want a $10,000 camera .
I bought A Nikon D-80 for the same reasons, but even thats not great if you dont use the lense and light properly.
I really do want one of the cameras like you have or have played with, I also want a Bugatti Veyron a 4 story mansion 3 wives, but what I "need" what I "want" and what I can afford are completely different things... I need to win the Lottery
Is the Canon the best "kiddie-cam" for the money, and is there any way to make one of the "kiddie-cams" not look grainy in a low light shot
