If you mean digital and you don't have unlimited money then the Canon EOS 1DII or EOS 5D should more than match your requirements. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

What is the best car in the market? Not a chance you can answer that with one answer. What do you want to do with the camera? What results do you want from the camera? What style of photography do you want to do? What are your editorial requirements? Do you have a pack mule? Depending on the answers to those questions you can probably whittle it down to about 2 or 3 cameras per market. Sports, landscape, portraiture, photo-journalism, macro, astronomical etc. The Hasselblad that Jeremy mentions is not one camera but a range. Within that range are some seriously good cameras, but none that a sports photographer would go near as they aren't built for speed. A portrait or landscape photographer though would love a Hasselblad though a Phase One would go down well too. A sports photographer would probably choose a Canon EOS 1D Mk II. Some cameras and brands of note though are; Canon EOS 1D Mk II, Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II, Nikon D2X, Nikon D2Hs, Nikon D200, Leica M, Hasselblad, Phase One. And digital is not always the best. If you are doing landscape then a large format camera with good film is still recognised as brilliant. You just need that pack mule. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

I think this is a medium-size camera. He probably meant 35mm-like camera. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

he said best, which as Paul pointed out is subjective. As soon as you say "best," my opinion goes straight to medium format or large-format cameras. I just cannot afford them either. But in any case, now you are trying to read his mind. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

I occasionally get asked to, I generally remind them that developers are insane and they really don't want us interpreting their sane ideas. ;) I think it is actually the reverse, but that argument usually satisfies them enough to break down the idea exchange into at least concrete needs. From there I can solve the problem even if no one else has, insanity has a view that everything is possible, so I am never detered because a college prof told me something could never be done/solved and I believed him (though I wouldn't have, which is why I never finished college). _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I try all kinds of photography, just for fun, but I still enjoy landscape photography best. I would love a Hasselblad, I just look at the price, look at my checkbook, and then start looking again at the low-end SLRs. ;) Maybe one day I will allow myself to budget in a pro line at $5000 +-, but I would have to win the lottery to get a Hasselblad digital at $40k. Even if I actually had the money earned/saved I would have to have many times that saved to pay the price of a new car for a camera. I was hoping the shock of seeing the price on the Hasselblad cameras would frighten him into rephrasing the question. :) you are just nicer than I am today. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
