I always felt the grip on my 800E was a bit skinny and I [I]wasn't quite happy[/I] with it - and after trying out the 810 it's a "deal-maker" for me... so now I've just got to get in contact with a mate of mine who [B][I]may[/I][/B] buy my "old" 800E (7900 actuations) and we'll go from there... the prices here in Australia range from a low of $3300 up to $3900 at some stores... one place I rang is throwing in a pair of Nikon binoculars to try and swing the deal... we'll see..... cheers [/QUOTE]
