Some bodies have AF issues out of the box, but Nikon in Richmond will fix it within 48 hours in our experience.

any recommendations? | I'm pretty happy with the E-PL1 I picked up last week, it's pretty fun, I have the LX5 as well but the LX5 IMO is more expensive and less fun but I feel like the low light performance is better, neither are as user friendly as canon interface IMO though. I'm still very happy with my good ol' G7 though haha
EDIT: I got my E-PL1 off newegg, it was a refurb but it was pretty cheap IMO, worked out to about 380 including tax + shipping and arrived in 3 business days  http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16830111413 | |

I can't believe the LX5 is better than the Olympus....the sensor is many times larger.

Mind you I just have the 14-42 kit lens which has a pretty small aperture. I'll try to take some side by sides with the E-PL1 and the LX5 when I get back to van, in the end I still brought the E-PL1 over the LX5 with me to HK because I prefer the UI and I think it's a lot more fun to use. I would not hesitate to recommend it as long as you don't plan on taking too many non-tripod night shots.

Looking for a pistol grip flash memory camcorder with at least 720p. Preferrably something with good low-light and indoor performance. Budget, around $300... any recommendations?

Any ideas when the D90 will be discontinued? I'm thinking about buying one but i'm not sure if the price will drop during the summer. Also, are there any alternatives to the D90 that would be worth considering? Thanks.

Don't bother with the D90...the D7000 is superior in image quality and features.

im kinda holding out for the speculated D7100. should be an upgrade to the D7000 but with the D5100's 30fps video, dual card slots, and swivel screen.
its only natural they should apply all the goodies from the d5100 to an upgrade to the D7000.

The D7000 just came out, so the replacement won't be out for a while. The D7000 has dual SD card slots too.
