Thanks for all the responses. As much as I would love something in the 5D or D2X price bracket … that’s a little bit out of my league L. As gradient mentioned there’s all the other costs associated with a first time DSLR buy.

 

I’m currently looking at the 30D or the D200. My current Olympus C770UZ is only a 4 mega pixel cam so wasn’t sure whether the D200 would be the better buy over the 30D since it has more mega pixels. I guessed it was the mega pixels and the quality of the lenses that made a good quality print but thought maybe I had overlooked something.

 

@crytojoe I use Photoshop 7.0 (but not too familiar with it) and I know nothing about Raw files other than that seems to be the way to go. So I guess I’ll be learning all about that later on.

 

I tend to take a lot of landscape and macro shots with the odd still life thrown in 😄

 

Hmmmm I think changing my car would be a lot quicker than deciding on a new cam :lol:

Noeline :D
