[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1353646, member: 197651"] you hit on a major point when it comes to cameras. With the drive on the chipset, Video vs Still, the companies and media are "focusing" on the wrong aspect of what the greatest expense is when it comes to the SLR - The Lenses. I have a lot of Canon L-glass. Their top of the line. I researched the lenses first, and decided on Canon's L line. I have $15k in glass. THEN I bought the bodies. The bodies will change more than the lenses, and the lenses will outlast the bodies by years. Personally, I am holding out for a 400mm IS prime. But that is me.\ Attached: Taken a few years ago through a 600mm telescope with my D20. A happy accident while waiting for an eclipse. The image was only resized Camera: Canon EOS 20D Aperture Value: f/5.6 Focal Length: 600 mm ISO: 400 Shutter Speed Value: 1/2000 sec Date/Time: Wed 20 Feb 2008 08:26:40 PM EST [/QUOTE]
