I first want to thank everyone on this forum for all the info I gleaned from them as to My decision of E-10 or something else. Got My E-10 last Saturday and I am impressed. Love the control I have again. I am only, I suppose, an AVID amature. I learned on a AT1 Canon full man.35mm.Had Nikon 35s,then tried digital with Sony DSC-F505. Digital is the greatest but I really missed having the control with the Sony . My E-10 has taken care of that. What a great camera.I have two grandchildren and with a third due to arrive in about two months I convinced Gandma I needed an upgrade. I got wcon .08 , Tcon1.4, Mcon-35,1G Fugi microdrive (working great) ,64mg Smart card, FL40 flash, remote cable, B&W mrc polarizer, B&W mrc UV, Hoya R72, Lumiquest Ultra-Bounce, B-30 Lipo Grip,Lith. AAs for flash, and had to have a new bag for all this ,Domke F2 Emerald. ( OUCH ) Grandma says we are worth it. She is my sweatheart of thirty years of marrige. THanks again, and as many have commented before me this is far and away the TOP FORUM.
