Not the newest one its the XT. But it still takes sweet pictures. Makes my 6 megapixel cybershot look like a toy.

I'm actually thinking of buying my wife the XT to replace her old 10D. The XT is lighter and easier to work with. Now that the XTi is out, the price on the XT has really become affordable.

Workmate of mine just bought one and the XT is very impressive for what you pay and for what it does. The smaller size is good for a woman's hands too.

I love it so far it takes awesome pictures. Does feel a bit small but I plan on getting the battery grip that goes into the bottom and holds 2 batteries. That should make it feel long enough to hang on to a little better.

Wow! That's good for a test shot, colours are rich and the camera movement isn't shaky at all. Good tune too! Bravo PBG4! :girl:

That is an amazing camera! Low light and no noise! My camera begs for more light all the time.

It was actually on -3db gain (true zero), no gain up, which is how I always shoot if I can (sometimes hard to shoot that way on event shoots, but even at 6db there is no noise.. however.. at 18.. the noise is rather noticeable)

Man, I need to get myself a 35mm adapter for my camera now. It's so hard to get the depth of field similar to that of film cameras.
Keep us posted Powerbook, I would like to see more of your works.

leecho7 -- Are you talking about a dSLR or a movie/motion camera? DOF for a dSLR is identical to a 35mm camera using the same lens. The only difference is that most (not all) dSLR cameras also have a crop factor, so the lens sort of "zooms" more; but if you have a 5' wide DOF with a given 35mm camera using a given lens at a given aperture, then you will have the same 5' DOF when you put that lens on a digital SLR.

He's talking about a video camera, similar to the one I have on my camera.

Heh, sorry for not clearing that up. I mean for a Panasonic AG-DVX 100A camcorder. It's a great camera that gives a good film like quality, but not nearly as good as Powerbook's setup.
