Bruce, you are so quick to jump on conclusion again here. I never said that Rebel (called EOS Kiss in Japan) was made after the MZ-5. I always assume certain fundamental things are given, requiring no elaboration. I only said that particular segment of the market "benefited" from the introduction of the MZ-5 and the frenzy it created. This fact is very well known in Japan. If I remember correctly, the young women were the ones who contributed to this trend. I do not know if the same thing happened elsewhere in the world. Nikon was a bit late in catching up in this trend. Again, a nice try but you are two down. Your mind and constant attempt to pick on someone else's point always make you embarrassed. But thank you for bothering to take time to do a little search and give me your advice anyway. Ken
