I have to disagree with you there, Bobby.  I'm an old film guy myself, but
since purchasing a Canon 10D a little over a year ago, there is no going
back for me.  I also picked up a Canon 300D body and removed the IR filter
to increase the HA sensitivity, which is now phenomenal.  You can check out
a few of my DSLR shots at :

Others at www.machunter.org/hapspics.html.  And most of the DSLR images were
shot through a 80mm Orion APO!
