sorry mate i ran out of poll space....

i guess that mean you need to sell up and buy a nikon

haven't minolta ceised production?

My take is a little left of field so to say, I think all Prosumer level cameras currently available are of Fantastic value and quality, and honestly the amount of choice available to those interested is astounding.
My decision to swap from my Nikon and Minolta film cameras to an "entry Level" Canon DSLR was dictated by a Glass Fetish...

I love the range of Glass available from Canon and this was the deciding factor for me to change systems.

After all, the camera/sensor has now psychologically became a disposable component after a new model is released (every two Years it seems) so your hard earned coin is still retained in the glass that you purchase as this tends to far outlive the body that you end up mounting it onto......

current kit, as we all like to gloat a little......

Canon 400D + battery grip
Canon 580EX II light gun
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 II L USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM

A bag of filters, because every bloody lens has a different diameter size....

Manfrotto tripod

Lowepro Computrekker for all the gear in the 4wd/rig/truck....
Lowepro Slingshot for a minimal kit while walking around

x3.............

Get the Canon 70-200 L with IS.

I've got the Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR and wouldn't get rid of it unless something really really good came along. Sigma is definitely not as good as the Nikkor or Canon.

What I'd like is a Nikon AF-S 400mm f/2.8 VR II ED
But $11,000 is a little to much for an amature like me

I completely agree. I think there is more to be gained through good glass than through bodys. Mind you, I would still like a full frame sensor.
