Do the levels of noise and chrom. aber. annoy you as they do me? And sometimes (and admittedly its only a G3) I get the impression by Canon adds a kind of greyish sheen to everything, flattening the illusion of depth in my photos. Perhaps that's just digital 'per se' but given most peoples' rapturous embrace of the new paradigm I'm starting to have doubts about my choice of shooter.

There would be no way I'd be able to maintain botht he shadow detail and the snow highlights if I had been using film for this image (taken a couple weeks ago). Take a look at the new Canon Digital Rebel, which should have the same image quality as my 20D, for less than a grand.

  I take your point about the Rebel. Perhaps the 350D might also suffice. I think now might be the time to jump in for me - when I see if Nikon is going to respodn any time soon.
  And I admire your skill. Do you actually live near this scenery?

    Thanks. The 350D was what I was talking about (forgot what they called the new rebel). There's a great writeup on it at www.luminous-landscape.com.
    Unfortunately, I am only able to leave Wisconsin for 1 week every year to do some photography out West. The Aurora shots are all taken in WI.

      But with cameras. I like the honesty underlying the choice of the 'MO'. The 350XT does look attractive. Thanks for the info'.

I've had no problem with the 20D and chrom aberration. No more than when I was shooting film, anyway. Also, the lack of noise at high ISO kills, I repeat KILLS any 400 or 800 speed film I've ever used, and I've used them all.

G'day J,
I've just bought a G6 and have posted some pictures at the link below if you want to take a quick look. Nothing to help with your SLR question but it might show up some differences between the G3 and G6..if any of course.
Regards
Paul
