There was no mention of any Japanese company which represent the Rafale. Do that they have give up? Or do the Japanese think a French plane will never got a chance.

im still not sure wether a 10d would be better than the 350d.has anyone got any opinions???

Personally I think a 10D is a better choice. Other than more pixel there is really no advanatge. The 10D is actually better in bulid quality, faster continous shoot rate and a better view finder. Of course the 350D is lighter due to more use plastic but remember the real reason for using plastic is to cut cost.

“The only professions that actually really need digital these days are press and sports photography.”

I’m sorry, are you in the profession? I am, and haven’t touched film – in 35mm or medium format – in the 3 years since I bought a digital SLR. Social photography, function photography, event photography, wedding photography, portrait photography in addition to press and sport photography all say that you are wrong. My portraits are constantly having comments about superior clarity, sharpness and colours in comparison to my competitors. The only wedding photographer I know who still uses ‘wet film’ (where the hell does that term spring from?) is one who has decided that he is too old to change, too old to learn to use a computer, and doesn’t need to change his style or output. And is scared to change. But he requests I bring my digital whenever I help him on a job. And he prefers my colours. And that’s a 10D. Obsolete now.

Damn, why am I retiring this week? I’d better raise some cash for a 5D.

A lot of people I know stick with the 10d because they think the colour is “better” than the 20D. I would like to know your opinion. Thanks.
