they're still cranking up the mega pixels when they should be cranking up sensor size *sigh*

Honestly, I think used digitals are the way to go. Buy an old rebel or D70 or something. I've sold 22" prints off my 6mp rebel that were stunning. Just have to make sure you meter properly, and use a tripod, and buy a REAL good lense. I love straight lenses (non-zoom lenses) for their image quality and F speeds.

I've seen so many people who've sold their nikon D70's for $400 just so they can buy a D80. monopolize on their addiction to consumerism, and get your stuff from the buy-hole . What's 1000 exposures on a camera? Mine's already at 4000, and still going strong.

What I find real amusing, is that they charge about $600 more for upper-end models that have things like servo focus and such. I bought my Elan 7NE (top of the line 35mm canon) for $400 new, it shows that they can build all that "pro" level stuff in a camera for like $200 cost. And the camera has features that the $3000 digitals DON'T have.

Again, buy used, and they'll drop their prices to where they should be.
