The SD9 has roughly 3X the full color reslution of the Canon 10D, but the 10D really fits more in the higher end P&S class than the pro class, with only 1.5M RGB triples. Here are some real world results... http://www.pbase.com/canon10d_sigmasd9 http://www.outbackphoto.com/artofraw/raw_05/essay.html

I don't know of anyone who knows anything about digital who shoots above the lowest ISO setting.

I wonder if he works for Canon? Phil

Plenty of people who know about digital set the ISO above the lowest setting
