Re: The BEST DSLR

Today, Matt made these interesting comments ...

Just a good general body that can take a wide variety of lens
attachments.

What you say is true on its face, and /might/ suffice for a
normally thinking person, but some qualification is still
necessary as "good general body" can have broad meaning and broad
price implications, and isn't at all like the theoretical way the
OP phrased the whole thing.

It is like "if you could have any car in the world, what would
you pick? I might pick a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or a Lamborghini
while you might pick a Toyota Prius and a 3rd person would pick a
GMC Yukon Denali. One must know the intended usage and what the
criteria is for defining "good", "better", "best" and "anything
in the whole world", doncha think?

My cameras are a mess, both my point-and-shoot (which I
think the best way to do this is post a message (about
camera shopping) here...to people with experience with DSLR
cameras.

So to help me can you answer this question...
If you could have any DSLR camera in the world, which one
would you get?

Surely you jest ("and, don't call me Shirley!"). What is your
definition of "best" and what is your budget, $100 or
$30,000? Or, are you just trolling ...

Now, if you're serious, what subject(s) do you intend to
concentrate on, what lighting condition(s) do you anticipate,
and what are your intended use(s) for the images?
