Not really gonna say one is beter than the other but the body is a big deal for me because of durability issues and what conditions I shoot under. Lots of dust, rocks, heat, rain, cold, etc. There is a lot of variance in conditions so I need as much protection as I can get.

The DRebel is a great camera but I just needed to have something that is prepared out of the box and has the features I need without the hack.

Try some Tri-X 400 pushed out to 6400... its grainier. =)

My favorite films are all B&W. Ilford HP5 400 ISO, Agfa Pan F 50 ISO, Kodak T-Max 100 ISO, and even push-processed Tri-X 400 has its place.

For color, I used to really like Kodak Supra 100 negative and Fuji anything for chromes, depending on the desired effect.

I still haven't cross-processed E6 in C41 chemicals or vise versa. Someday... if I ever buy another film body.

I'm at almost 20,000 frames with my Canon D60 without a single failure. I've shot on a friend's 10D a little bit, and it is definitely a better body. It improves upon the general clunkiness that the D60 suffers from. Also -- and this is sort of a pet peeve of mine -- the shutter firing sounds better on the 10D than the D60. I'm not sure what they did, but it sounds better. My favorite is still the sound of a Nikon F4, and it probably always will be.

E6 in C41 basically trashes the film and can cause it to blank out completely. I haen't tried it but have heard some nasty results from it.

Yeah pushing is one way to do it but I am talking stock for stock there is no granier film out the box. Personally I have taken Neo 1600 and pushed to 3200 and it made for some seriously heavy grain, almost too much.

I will stand by the idea that Fuji is far superior to Kodak. As for Ilford....I love that film because of its smooth qualitiy, too bad they may be goling under
