It&#8217;s funny that in the SLR market, the popularity of chrome\/black bodies vs. all-black bodies comes and goes. All-black is supposed to be more &#8220;pro&#8221;, but I still prefer the chrome\/black style. And for the record, I love the names of the Japanese cameras, the &#945;-Sweet and EOS Kiss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Konica-Minolta is starting to offer their second digital SLR body, which is smaller and less expensive than the 7D.
