As I told this guy send me a international postal money order and I'll send it any way you like. He didn't like that idea either.

Anyhow, I was just looking at some of the latest images of this. It appears almost identical the the 7D and I don't see a mode switch lock on it unless I'm blind.

It is hard to trust someone with a large sum of money when you have no idea who they are. Forums can help if others can vouch for them but it's still tricky.

Anyway moving on..

The 7D doesn't have a mode switch lock either. I wish it did. My cousins 60D has one and I thought it was a great idea- I have knocked mine into the wrong mode once or twice

Ok that made me chuckle

I know what HDR is, but what is "HDR Mode"?

It depends on your bag and how you use them. I use handstraps and Lowepro toploaders and have never had an issue with the mode being changed. I know this is a big issue for some types of bags.

It's a function to simulate ghastly over contrasted, over saturated colours which render any landscape almost unrecognisable

I believe while in HDR mode the camera will take a succession of images and create a HDR image in camera. Would be a great feature if this is true.

Nikon body is just uglier so the buttons look prominent.

It is also fully weather sealed.

But "yay" that Canon "looks" better.

Kind of like what happens after some people get done with PP. Myself, I'm a photographer not an artist.

I think the word here is "more" not "fully". Neither camera is waterproof.

So near the top of the list...

Dual card slots (CF & SD)


Further down...

Memory Type – Compact Flash

I think we should wait a day

heheheh, right on....but what, technically speaking, does the camera do while it's in "HDR mode"? Will it take multiple exposures and combine them automatically into one file?
