Well My favorite is stil my 'ol Pentax ME mirrorreflected cam...with a bunch of changeable lences...widangle, normal, 2 tele (135mm)& (400mm) zoom (70 - 210) some filters & extention tubes... Love the flexibility :) Hate :( the veight - heavy to carry all the stuff & expencive to develope the pictures...but a compromiss is that I develove the negatives/diapositives & scann 'em into my computor. My digicam Konica Minolta Dimage A200.. It's light to carry. Can add external flash :)wich I think is great. allso iso between 50 - 800. Love the simplisity.. and it's able to shoot RAW as well. it's acquipped with a not removalbe/changeable lence a zoom 28 - 200mm. That is OK not extravagant.... But as I mentioned I can add those "adaptors" wich I only have experienced the tele...stil not impressed..when I compare to my old dito. Hate :( It's to slow!!! When I press the shutter...Very enoying!! RAW is timeconsuming and takes alot of memory. (I have 1 gigabyte memory) Autofocus is a bit disturbing.... Today I have choosed a "digicam" able to change lences..if I could afford it..and with a MUCH faster "shutterspeed" But I couldn't afford it then & I could'n now..so My old one & my new one they're a great team :) Good luck to U :) Puss & kram
