Figure on spending $2000-$2500 for the body, large memery stick and lense. http://www.tristatecamera.com/LookAtAll-14ezzmxm-CANE10D-3-00290276-0-store.php3.html http://www.tristatecamera.com/ ...........

In the macro mode, it works fine for us... ______________________ "Live Free Or Die Death Is Not The Worst of Evils." - General John Stark, a distinguished hero of the Revolutionary War

The only thing we don't like about it is that the xD Picture cards are more expensive than other cards.

Not sure if it's still available, but it has a really great super-macro mode. Also look here: http://www.imaging-resource.com/WB/WB.HTM?view=dp_macro

daboyzmomi Cut Rock Total Posts: 182 Last Post: 9/8/2004 Member Since: 9/29/2003	Currently in the process to replace my 10 yr old Minolta 35mm to a digi-slr. The contenders are: Canon EOS Rebel Digital SLR Konica Minolta Dimage A2 Digital SLR Canon - PowerShot Pro 1 Digital Canon - Powershot G6 Digital Camera Anyone have any opinions on these? I'm having a hard time deciding as I am so use to an SLR type camera, but they are so bulky. I just told hubby that it HAS to take good diamond pictures or we are taking it back! LOL....
