brenthutch 444 #5 March 14, 2005 I did the same thing this last fall. I watched the Penn State / Iowa game, downed several beers while watching my beloved Lions choke again. Unfortunately there was a camera store right across from the bar. I took a look at the 20D and pulled out my credit card right after I beheld what five frames per second was all about. No regrets though the camera rocks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eUrNiCc 0 #6 March 15, 2005 I just drooled over the XT at best buy today. It's considerably smaller than the 300D, and the refresh rate seems notably quicker as well.Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #7 March 15, 2005 Yeah, when I pulled it out, I said, "Damn that's small." But the camera still looked pretty big next to it."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #8 March 17, 2005 Best Buy had their first one tonight. They didn't even have it on the shelf but searched their computer and found they -did- have one in stock. After some searching they found it and brought it out. I agree with some who have posted. Smaller. Lighter. However, IMHO, the grip is too small and the dial a bit chinsey compared to other Canon products I've played with before. Buttons are pretty tiny, too. Not built for anyone with fat fingers. Think my next digital will be along the lines of the 20D. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pepe 0 #10 March 17, 2005 Just got one... traded in the 10D. 1st impressions... FAST. Puts the 10D to shame. Hopefully it holds up in the air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superfletch 1 #12 March 24, 2005 Bought one yesterday myself. Looks to be a super nice camera. I hope it holds up. I've never jumped stills before so this is going to be quite a learning experience for me. I'm excited and a little scared. I still can't believe I spent that much money. God I hope I get it back... hehehehehe Gary "Superfletch" Fletcher D-26145; USPA Coach, IAD/I, AFF/I Videographer/Photographer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePhelps 0 #15 March 25, 2005 QuoteI still can't believe I spent that much money. God I hope I get it back... hehehehehe That may depend on how your video concession works at your DZ. At our small two cessna DZ, the DZO allows me to charge and keep whatever I want for stills. I get $25 for each video, and as of date I sell a disk of stills to the student for an additional $20. About 90% of the students want the stills (they see them when we land). So in my book I get $45 a video jump instead of the normal $25. Doesn't take long to pay for itself that way. Good luck, be safe and have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
