Well I played with the new camera yesterday at NDF camera house here in Newcastle. It is heavy –much beefier than the pentax k10D. the screen is huge and the button features have changed dramatically. I do not like the rotating selector at the rear, which is very awkward to use. The live view function looks great - although I do have some reservations about it. In manual mode it was difficult to actually see if the object was in sharp focusUsing the zoom function after selecting . The live view mode you hear and feel the mirror slap up out of the way, then you see the streaming live video. Its responsiveness in auto mode is fantastic. It is a vast improvement over and above the 350/400D, and I can see heaps of these being dumped in the rush to upgrade. The body is about 2K, with 17-70 IS lens about 3K
I can still live with my 400D and cooled 350D at the moment.
