[QUOTE="eal1, post: 347181, member: 8642"] As a relatively new contributor to the discussions here, and a new owner of a 610, i can say that generally i like the colors the 610 produces. I am an enthusiast, not particularly skilled photographer and do not intend to sell anything that i shoot. I shoot for the enjoyment i get when i capture something that i feel is beautiful, evocative, moving. I really enjoy the 610; however, i recognize limitations in its autofocus system and would really appreciate the 51 point system or better. When the 750 comes out, i will take a close look and wait - wait for reviews, wait for any "issues" like oil spotting, wait for price incentives - and then i might take the leap. On another note, sometimes i am taken aback by the tone of some of the contributors on this and other sites: maybe i am secure in my ignorance and willing to acknowledge that everyone here knows more than me about photography. I am not expert - my doctorate is in another domain. I personally appreciate the diversity of views, factual debate, subjective opinion and assessment, along with an aura of mutual respect for one another's views and talents. Just a thought. I would hate to not post a comment or question because i might be blasted or disrespected by someone else. [/QUOTE]
