A word of warning: it gets worse. I switched to a canon rebel G (film) probably 15 years ago to get a lighter weight system. In 2002 (maybe 2003, I really don't remember) I bought a canon 10D. I now have the canon Mark !! 1ds. I'm lusting after the latest model. I switched to canon's L lenses (really good glass). It's a real slippery slope that can develop into a very expensive hobby.
