Digital BW, The Print

Everything goes out within a few months. I wait for the newest to be
outdated and look for bargins, and the newest isn't always better.

I would plan on doing research thru Sept. do define your needs and what
models are meeting your requirements.

You don't actually say what your output requirements are.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Entering the world of digital


  Hello all,

  I am finally ready to stick my toe in the wave of digital and need
  some assistance. I am getting ready to purchase a digital slr camera
  and am not sure which to get. I am inclined toward the canon rebel xt
  due to the fact that I have several EF lenses already. Is this a good
  camera for digital b&w? Color? Can raw files that it creates be
  uploaded into photoshop? Also, is there a significant difference(to
  the naked eye) between the film based EF lenses and the ones custom
  made for digital? And finally, is there any word from Canon that a
  new camera is on the horizon that is in the price range of the rebel
  xt? I would hate to buy only to be out of date a few months later.
  Thanks in advance. I plan on using this camera for color work and to
  experiment with digital b&w. I currently use a pentax 67 with slow
  b&w film for my serious landscape work and then I scan the negs. I
  plan on continuing to do that and using the rebel xt as a backup or
  when logistics don't make carrying the beast 67 with me.

  josh
