The clear winner on actual resolution is - the Canon. And if a similar combo of Canon body, Nikon lenses is good enough for Tim Burton to shoot a movie, might it not be good enough for Ken? ;) Nick ----- Original Message ---- From: Jayanand Govindaraj <jgovindaraj@eth.net> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 5:34:17 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Re:DSLR advice....Leica glass on 20D Ken, It seems to me, as you already have quite a few Nikon lenses, that you need the new 10 MP DSLR that Nikon is announcing in 10 days or so (the betting is under US$ 1000). The D200 works with all Nikon lenses, so that might be what you want otherwise....With all Nikon lenses, why should you buy Canon? Or am I missing something here?
