one guy at work loves his Pen, another guy loves his Fujifilm, and they both seem like decent to good photogs. I'd say I probably can't go wrong with either, but I'm leaning Fujifilm. apparently the images are better, larger format. the plus side to the Pen over the FujiFilm is you can change lenses. gonna trade my old Nikon d90 in. Hopefully I can get something, anything for it.

What is wrong with a D90?

ONE pro used to shoot with a Kodak instamatic.

It's the photographer, not the camera.

AND as far as cameras go the D90 is excellent.

Shooting a wedding with Fujifilm is the way to go.

Probably not going to get an answer from Youseff.

All DSLRs still offer split-prism manual focus so far as I know, though I'm not sure about any manual focus aid. Presumably they all can do live view now so you could do manual focus with that instead of the split prism.

Maybe I'm not using the right term. The image below depicts what I mean. My t2i has nothing like it.

No, that's what I thought you meant. My experience with DSLRs is limited; I've played with my dad's which are medium-range Nikons and they all had split prisms for manual focus. Perhaps cheaper DLSRs omit it to reduce cost, meaning that to manual focus you would have to use live view -- use the screen on the back to check focus.
