I am toying with the idea of going to the pixelated side, I am still planning to keep my film camera and will be using it for all the important stuff, but would like a digi for odd things and test shots before using 35mm and medium format.
I had a bit of a play with a Canon 5D, it was very nice and almost felt camera like, however at roughly 1,800 earth pounds, it hardly cheap. If I really hunt I may be able to get in for 1,500 but still.
In comparison, the 30D felt a bit cheapish and gimmicky, perhaps I am be overly picky, especially as I had the 5D in my hand first.
Apart from the amount of pixels, what else should you be looking for ? Is there much difference between 8 million, 10 and or 12 million ?
I went for Canon, purely as I have a complete Canon set, the only other thing to do, is to completely switch to Nikon and start again.
I think I would prefer to go for performance over features, I use the play feature on my CD player more than all the other put together !
Not sure if anyone else knows, but Team Photography in Covent Garden has closed, I am now using Bayeux, just off Oxford Street, anyone else used them ?

I'd certainly have a look at it though. You may be looking for something MOre like a "pro" type D2xx body. Far too big for my liking though.
