- I wouldn't trade up if I were you. the rebel S has features similar to the
- elan. the elan does have higher performance, but I think you should wait to
- take a bigger step, say the A2 or the N90 (or 8008).
-
- anyway, if you're not convinced, you should look at the N6006 vs. the elan.
- I just don't like the 5xi. it's not as user friendly as the elan and is not
- as rugged as a nikon. also, you need to buy these $30 "cards" to do things
- like auto-bracketing and mult. exposure.
