I'm looking for some help in deciding on which DA21 Limited to get, the new HD or SMC. I have a HD DA15 and HD DA40 and am looking to get a DA21 now and then possibly a bit down the road (next year some time) getting a HD DA70 and then maybe a FA31LTD to round things out for my prime phase.
Anyway, I think I should have got a SMC DA15 but I didn't, I got the HD one. So now I'm wondering if the DA21 should be a SMC so I can get the better start burst effect from time to time when I'm looking for it. I anticipate that the DA21 will be on my camera 60% of the time as a general walk around etc. At the same time some people have said the HD DA21 is superior to the SMC version for bright/harsh light conditions. I do won't the best daylight photo quality as I will be using the DA21 as my holiday walk around.
Any thoughts that can help?….Thanks
Price difference isn't a major consideration (about $100 more for HD in Aussie)
