Got it. Thanks for the clarification. It is worth pointing out that Canon was in those days leading the revolution. They were among the first, if not the first, with a DSLR that utilized the full line of Canon lenses. Canon was the first to market a DSLR with lens for under $1,000 US$. Canon was the first to market a semi affordable full frame DSLR. So where has this cutting edge gone?

Don't you remember the Canon EOS 300D commercials? The camera dude and his wife in the football stands shooting the cheerleaders instead of the game? It's why I bought the 300D at the time.

And yes, Henry's Canada dinged me $1600 for it plus the extras like the $300 grip and all those taxes.
