OMG... and i thought oke lets say money is no reall concern lol but as the nikon d3 is allready a very prof photo camera and expensive 2 , I would rather be looking at a price tag of say around 500 - 600 euro . (never thought that photo camera could be sooooo expensive :drunk: ).

The Blad is pretty damned impressive..
I just bought a Nikon D80 and a Sigma 10-20mm lens for £670... whis was a cracking deal.... (also got carried away with a Lowe Pro rucksack and some filters lol) Already shopping around for new lenses lol :drunk:
I like the look of the sigma dp1... a dslr sized sensor in a compact... nice

Canon G10...
Sigma 10-20!! That\'s possibly my favourite lens. I\'ve taken it everywhere and absolutely hammered it. Great lens

ps. spacemunkie with the price of blads you might have just suggested the hubble mate.
I\'d love to have a short affair with one though... my Nikon might one day forgive me after councelling but I think it would be worth it. lol
Also... to everyone else, if you haven\'t checked out spacemunkies flickr, I uge you to do so... damn good photographer if you ask me!

I was at a huge media store yesterday and got my eye on a nikon d60 / d80. Does anyone know how they are ? My uncle is coming with his nikon D60 soon but can\'t wait lol . trough i really need a function VR function on it can\'t keep the damn thing from moving a little bit and now mostly the photo\'s i take on my old are all like you have been drinking :drunk: lol. (have a old canon powershot A60 now) .

(have a old canon powershot A60 now) .VR is on the lens and honestly I still wouldn\'t rely on it for photographing minis... you\'re better off buying an ok tripod for minis than a VR lens... or for out and about, consider a monopod.
As for the D60 and D80... both are brilliant cameras with good lenses attached and a good eye behind them. You only have to poke around flickr to see some of the photos taken with either to see their quality.

Nikons are probably all good. D60 and D80 are awesome (see reviews on the digicam-review sites). But for mini photography bear in mind you may want to buy an additional lens.
Two words: tri and pod.Originally posted by uruk of the west

VR/image stabilisation is a waste of time for mini shots - it\'ll actually induce motion blurring with a tripod mounted camera, so you have to turn it off anyway! I personally wouldn\'t make it a priority in glass under 200mm. Works great in my 500mm beasty though
@Matty - Don\'t bother with the Sigma!!

Just too many limitations for the price you pay. The Leica (whilst still overpriced!) is better value.
I\'d take a G9, a quality tripod and a flash for the same money over both. 230 quid from Amazon. Absolute bargain!!
The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3 is worth more than a look at too, especially if you\'re planning on doing anything in low light. Leica optics for considerably less than a Leica badge on a very similar camera....
