Hi Guys;
I have a canon350 d slr 8 megapixel[still getting the feel of it but to date am pleased] also a canon a80 4 megapixel[ more of point and shoot catagory] but an excellent camera al the same i feel;used to have a canon a1 slr many years back; which was great.
Although t present work exclusively in digital ; do have a yearning and liking for older single lens reflex medium format; mamiya; rollieflex; yacisha;etc as quality is unsurpassed i feel.
My dream camera is a leica [ ANY LEICA] best lens in the world; and a master piece from an equipment viewpoint
But at the prices the bodies only start; and all the accesories etc; way beyond the means of a peasant like me.
There are other very high quality camera's ; a lot of the older famous german makes voightlander; agfa; etc but these days the worry of film availability future costs and proccessing systems is a worry.
to my layman interpretation we haven't seen the same quality potential as to detail capability and total flexability from an enlargement viewpoint in digital as yet; although it really good.
So ideally run with both systems if one can afford.
