did try it in the shop Iain ,yes it fitted nicely in my big mutt hands .but I was put off by what I considered to be a flimsy screen mounting system.and when I got home and compared the spec to the canon 80d they were virtually the same ,bit of give and take .as I have had a 80D before which I only sold due to financial restraints and by changing lenses I would also have lost out on focal length I decided to stay with canon so have now bought a 80D ,
this also fell into my budget commitments spent far to much this year already ,i.e new caravan ,new 27" i.mac etc so thats it last minute change of heart.
one from last year with the 80d and my lens

Well I'm running a couple of 32CF's in the D3 and a 32CF and a 16SD in the D300S. Despite much use, even at motor racing I haven't filled a 32 yet.

Good, big, fast cards are cheap (and reliable) enough now.

Yes, Ive been using 64gb cards because of video capacity needs. Although the XT has two slots I've rarely filled one card before I've had opportunity to download. I would be relaxed with one slot...and a few spare cards in the pocket.
