My next camera Finally get to use that investment I have in EF lenses. This baby is more advanced than the D60, yet costs much less. Unless you really need a 1D, this is the ticket:

Nice... Sweet camera swft. I was looking at digital cameras in a magazine this morning. I'm about ready to upgrade, but I won't be dropping the kind of loot you are about to drop. The ol' Sony is just gonna have to continue to get the job done a little longer.

Yah, it's lotta bux, but I figure I'm recapturing the investment in EF lenses. I just remember how incredibly sharp the pictures I took with the good old film camera were. Still won't be able to approach it with the digital camera, but at least the page size photos will look good!

I love the digital for instand satisfaction of seing the pics right away..
Predy hard to adapt when the shutter is a bit late.. mostly for sport so get a camera with a fast memory and time reaction..
A good lens the rest the gadget and programes are secondary.
I wanted the new Nikon DX1
with new qualities
He has the Body metal of the F5
the D100 ( plastic )
But because no money right now i'll be happy with what ever take pics
I wanna stay with nikon since i have a lots of lens..

I've got an EOS Fish-Eye lens...it seez 180-deg. diagonal corner to corner...VERY coool for some things ...
You can bend the horizon BIG TIME with it by tilting up or down...
Got some COOOL pictures in the Bahamas when I used to go there every year...
Also great for getting fire works from close up...

not what I want fer my next camera... I've been searching high and low and they still dont make what I want:
A small (like Canon elf small or smaller) 2.0mp or higher digital that runs off batteries (not one of these bogus "powered off the USB port" things) and has a display (not just a viewfinder).... needs to be able to take memory cards etc...
here's the kicker... it cant cust more than $125cdn/ $80 usd so when it gets squashed/crushed/stolen I wont care and it wont be a big deal... or... and it should be semi water proof.
Now dont laugh... this stuff is close... I've seen some units almost meeting the criterium but they were only 1.0mp or they were too big or just too pricey..
build it and I'll buy 2... .plus a replacemt everytime it get squashed.

Nah, other than it's a lot less than the Canon D1S ro D60, which it replaces. And it has a magnesium body, unlike the D60, which is plastic. Just got back from FedEx, am charging the batteries right now. Hoping to play with it tonite.

I did a ton of research three years ago looking at a digital. I found the camera I wanted and a deal on it then and now over 7,000 pictures later I'm still happy with the decision, but it's about time for a new one.
I have a few 35 mm's that sit unused because I like using the digital. Now that I know the things that are important to me I'm looking for another one. I'm interested in why people buy what they do so that's why I asked.

I just bought the new Olympuss 5050 Anyone know much about these? I'm not a camera buff but it seems like a good unit? I paid about $800.00 I think. So many features that I wish I had a full time assistant!!! lol

I've wanted an SLR digital, but my digital needs to fit in my bike bag because most of my pictures are taken on bike road trips.

What i want to say it s that it's always good to have a nice camera that you love, my case I love my older nikons, i would like the newest digital camera from them for sure but it's realy costly.
If you want to take pictures you realy dont need something so expensive and extraordinaire but just something you feel comfortable with.
The pics above are from a nikon coopix 775 ( you can get those for around 200 or 300 $ now ) Great to take with you on bikes or travel.
I went through Photoshop to give them a feeling of the Nikon F's

It is still amazing how Black and White photos can be so good. By far they are often better then color. And photos taken by a good camera and talented photographer are still the best.
I agree frEEk nice photos GOZR.
