Just last week I was at a party at a friends place and she showed me her SLR, lenses and flashgun that she hasn't used for two years because they're too big and heavy. She was snapping everyone with a little Sony thing and delightedly showing them the results

Usually that would be the case, but, not with my girlfriend...she hates digital and is definitely interested in an SLR..

Anyone have any comments on the Nikon N75? I like it a lot but I'm not sure if the cost is worth it considering the Canon is much cheaper.
