I currently use a Nikon D80 with a variety of lenses - fast 50mm prime, 60mm macro, 10-20 wide angle and 18-200 zoom. I also spend a lot of time in Photoshop making sure the picture is post-processed properly. The camera feels good in my hand, although I am considering a battery grip as well - even though it will be bigger it apparently balances the camera well. Another good investment I found was the Nikon eBook (google it). <br/><br/>If money were no object I would probably go for an SLR with a full frame sensor like the Canon 5D. Beldy

It’s time to graduate to a digital SLR and I just want to know, if you’ll share, what you recommend. I realize that certain people want certain attributes. I have to date been a SONY and a NIKON fan but what do you use and like?

My only requirement so far: that the camera feels good in my hand.

Thanks for any info/opinion.
