RE: [APML] [OT] full frame DSLR

[Wei-Hao Wang <wang@IfA.Hawaii.Edu>]

Thank you guys.

After reading your advises and doing some homework on the internet,
I have two candidates:

1. Canon EOS 1Ds
   Pros:  full frame (wider field of view), low noise under long exposure
   Cons:  very expansive
   
2. Nikon D70
   Pros:  low price, low noise under long exposure
   Cons:  smaller chip

So it seems it's really a matter of budget.  The professor already have
a Nikon sysmtem.  Although D70 doesn't meet his requirement of full frame,
buying D70 will save him lot of $$$.  Probably enough for him to buy a
fisheye to get very wide-angle images.  I learned that Canon EOS Kiss 
Digital (what's its name in US?) is also good.  Given that it's so close
to D70 in terms of everything (am I wrong?), I guess the professor will 
prefer D70.

Are there anything I missed?

Cheers,

Wei-Hao
