    I'm waiting til I can buy a used 10D off ebay for $50. I'd have to buy AF lenses for it too, dammit!

    No one (except a pro shooter doing high-end large-scale reproduction) needs 8.2MP, just like no one needs 400HP station wagons.

    Canon does make the best sensor in digital cameras for night and low light shooting. They seem to have the least noise. Most of the night shooters that I know that use digital use the 10D. Their work looks incredibly smooth.

    Oh great. Now we'll get into an eBay bidding war against each other and I'll win for $60.00. LOL.

    ...and amateur paparazzi. (And no, by that, I don't mean me.)

    Secondly, what about the Dodge Magnum (link)? I need one of those.

    Sorry, I was inaccurate with my figures, a 430 HP station wagon. Why do you need that? Is your penis that small? Just read a road test in R&T magazine. Said the Magnun got 12mpg in real world (ie: leadfoot) driving. Ridiculous. I'd rather have a 125 HP hybrid and get 50mpg. Oh wait, the auto industry insists that "The public doesn't want it". Ridiculous again. It's the oil industry that doesn't want it.

    Hehehe, and they say this when the Toyota Prius has many people sitting on waiting lists for over a year! Oh well, sooner or later.........

    Actually, a station wagon is so uncool, that no matter how much one tries to coolify it, it's still a station wagon. So it won't make up for any matter of penis deficiency or trying to increase my completely lacking sex appeal.

    Besides, that's not what I'm trying to do. I read that it was fun to drive. And no, technically, I don't need it.

    But you gotta admit, it has a market. That was my point.

    Oh, and for the record, I recently bought a new car, and it was closer to the Prius than it was to the Magnum. I don't think hybrid technology is sufficiently "settled down" for me to trust them, although I could have, but my concerns were (a) insufficiently superior gas mileage performance -- the real-world numbers I saw were really not that much better than, for example, a Scion xA; and (b) fear of lack of sufficient (and sufficiently) knowledgeable mechanics.
