The spotlight effect worked great with this natural lighting! Will be get a peek at the beagle with the handler in it's eye? Cool idea.

I was looking into getting an XT per your suggestion as a back up body but now I'm onto the Mark II since I mostly do action shots. I got the bug bad LOL.

I have not shot RAW yet, I'm guessing that gives you a better print quality? And don't you have to convert it somehow in photoshop? You also get less shots per card that way don't you...is it still worth doing? I'm thinking of the action shots where I'll use burst and get a bunch of shots off at a time...would fill up a card pretty fast.
