i like my 28mm prime a lot. simple but effective. look at my macros on my page. i know they're nothing special but it's so fun. the sigma 10-20mm is an amazing lens, although i don't own it i would give my left nut for it. or maybe i'll just save up the $500. yeah, i think i'll do that. try taking a normal lens and flipping it backwards and facing another lens. that's fun to play with. it works best if the lens mounted on your camera is a long focal length (like 100 or more) and the backwards lens is one with a large aperture. this will minimize vignetting.

The tigers are completely unreal. That's phenomenal execution at the right place at the right time.

The tiger image is indeed very dynamic and nicely done.
However, I also like the black and white shot of the restaurant. Something about the mood in that one, is intriguing.

Being a previous owner of a Nikon D100, which got stolen in 2005, I bought a Nikon D200 SLR camera in February 2007. I am pretty happy with it, and things I found previously great with the D100 have been even improved. Raw picture capability works great with Aperture and brings out the best in photos.
However, to carry it around all the time, it's an extremely heavy camera. That's true to almost all digital SLR's out there. Just for snap-and-shoot photography, I have used a very thin Sony DSC-1, but it's shutter lag and the long time it takes to focus bugs me. Also, I can not change to aperture- or shutter preference, and that bugs me a lot.
So I've been looking around to find a good replacement for a "carry everywhere" kind of camera, that fulfills my basic needs in terms of resolution and handling, and most of it all allows me to use different program modes, beyond "face" or "landscape". It doesn't have to be a 10 MP camera, but definitely above 6 MP resolution. What's most important to me is a shutter lag that is almost unnoticed. I mean, if the shutter lag lies below or around 0.07 Sec., I guess that's asking a lot already. But it really seems hard to figure out which camera in this segment doesn't have a noticeable shutter lag.
I checked out dpreview.com, which usually does a great job if you want to compare cameras. The site's moderator usually tests cameras in depth, and the reviews are really helpful for a solid decision making process. However, the site doesn't allow me to compare shutter lag of one camera and the other.
So what's your recommended camera for the small size-factor, prosumer camera, that gives you decent results while it is not too heavy to have it in your pocket most of the time?
I was peeking at the Nikon D5000 and the Canon G7, and was disappointed to learn that both cameras have a serious shutter lag.

Well if you like Nikon's I recommend getting a Nikon D50 SLR, I have one and it's extremly light weight and easy to carry anywhere. And it's only 600$ in stores, but I got a great deal online for 400$.

Unfortunately, shutter lag is part of the nature of the compact camera.
If you want a lighter camera, you might want to take a look at the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100. It incorporates the same APS-C CCD image sensor as the Nikon D80, 9-point AF, built-in image stabilizer, and built-in control for wireless flash. It's also the only DSLR to incorporate High Speed Sync in wireless flash. The polycarbon resin body makes it really reasonably light to carry around.
It's also compatible with every Minolta AF lens produced since 1985.
If you want to stay in the Nikon mount, the D40/D50 would also make good options.

The Fujifilm FinePix F30 (and the F31) is what I heard two people praise not only for speed but image quality (and even high ISO). The best way I know is that one goes in a photo store and trys things before one buys, even if the buying happens online.

nice macros. what lens did you use? i like a lot of depth, so i shoot with as wide of an aperature as i can manage, especially in macro.

Alex. says:
Thanks man :D I just used the macro function on my Powershot A540 ^_^ I'll have to remember that. Mostly I just use the program setting instead of aperture priority, because usually when I try to change shutter speed/aperture manually, the photos are crap. I guess I need to get to grips with the theory of it more.

yeah, i'm no pro either. i hope my class starting tomorrow will help me out a bit. i'll shoot a picture, then adjust on the fly. i like that about digital. film has another feel to it that i love though.
