One of the first books I bought when I got my first camera ( Contax 139 Zeiss 50mm 1.7)was one of his work.

Back to the topic in hand. What kind of photography do you tend to shoot most or aspire to ?
Bit of everything I guess, anything that I find interesting .I Really enjoyed my Contax 139 and Ziess 50mm 1.7 together with Tamron 70-200mm. Have loads of prints but unfortunately no scanner else I would put some on flicker.I should have kept the Tamron but had no body or use for it at the time so it went with the deal on ebay with the Camera.hkwiles wrote:

Sorry if I was a little blunt. I was just somewhat confused by the asking of opinions on which camera to choose, followed by the "nit picking" comment. Basically, any dslr on the market will produce a great photograph. It's what suits you best that counts. Some lower budget models are intentionally handicapped by the makers so that they do not compete with more expensive models in their range, so just make sure the model you choose is capable of all the features you may require.Indeed , I should have learned from other websites that one does tend to get "jumped on" if one isnt careful what they say.

I liken the Camera scene to Hi Fi , buffs more interested in the pops and crackles ( or lack of!) rather than the music the system plays Lol
Have decided on the K 7 anyway, I think the size and weather proofing will be most useful and system WR lenses will be more than adequate for my initial use..
Next thing to think about will be a semi decent printer to print off A4 size..all sugestions for this will be asked in due course LoL.

Works fine for me. I found the Nikons a little clunky. Of course, neither brand is upthere with Pentax on handling : )smc wrote:
Canon would get my vote: you can use M42 and almost all K mount glass. I suspect the 7D may also be at the same level as the Nikons for low light performance. Otherwise, I think from limited experience Canon handling is better than Nikon.

I think they may have forgotten to say "Maybe as many as 10 Photographers ditch DSLR cameras..."
