Chris, don't trade! You "need" both! Aftrer all, you have to have a
back-up........ Seriously, I would not consider swapping a known,
working, familiar camera body for an unknown. The beauty (perceived
value) of the black body vs the chrome is questionable
anyway.........wait till you get that first scratch on a black body.
Wow, does it show up! After all, if by chance the black body takes
better pictures than the chrome, it is certainly not because of the color
of the camera. Go ahead, sign the tab and have both. Just keep
repeating to yourself, "You can't have too many, You can't have too many,
You can't have too many, ...................."
