Congrats to the OP. I started with a Nikon D70 (still have it) but I mainly shoot my Canon 5D. Stuff is getting so good now. The new Nikon D90 and Canon 50D are super.

The 5D replacement gets announced tomorrow!


The most exciting stuff though IMO, is the new Micro 4/3 format (Olympus/Panasonic). No mirror, so it's not an SLR, but you can change lenses. Same big sensor, great optics, but small small body and lenses. Also, electronic viewfinder and LCD view.

Panasonic announced the first of these last week.
One problem I've had with an electronic view finder is seeing details on a bright sunny day. The SLR viewfinder solves this problem.
I agree that great image quality can be had these days. The high end models are less of an advantage unless shooting in exceptional situations.
