Seth, a Canon D60 is hardly a point and shoot. Neither is the Sigma. I
know they aren't top of the line, either.

Until the Canon's recent $9000 with 11 megapixel camera, the D60 took
the best pictures of any of the competition under 6 megapixels. And yes,
I've seen plenty of Nikon D1x pictures. Canon D60 is still the best
under 6 megapixels.

Six Megapixels was until recently the best there was in the 35mm
interchangeable lens cameras.

My D60 takes Excellent pictures, and I use  1280 printers with a
calibrated monitor, profiles, and CIS systems.

True!
