[QUOTE="JonB, post: 30495, member: 3047"] I'm a Canon shooter - so I can't be much help on Nikon. (I used Nikon film cameras for many years and still have my F3HP) But switched to Canon when I went digital. As to your question though - its a good one. The problem is it only matters to your budget and intended use. I have a full frame 21 megapixel 5D Mark II, a 1.3 crop sensor 1D Mark IV pro series with 16 megapixel and 10 FPS with 90 shot burst mode, a similar 10 megapixel 1D Mark III plus my old 20D 8 megapixel and and 10D 6 megapixel. It's a pile of money and each has its uses they are best suited for. The pro Mark IV and Mark III are great sports and action cameras - but a little too heavy to hold over a patient's mouth for any length of time. Same with the 5D Mark II with a battery grip - too heavy - but it takes beautiful landscapes and makes movies that are Hollywood standard quality. My 20D is still my lab workhorse even at only 8 megapixels and 3 FPS and no movies. The 10D sits alone in a quite room enjoying its retirement. None of that answers your question directly - but all of it answers it. Let me address it this way... since I'm in the Canon camp - first there is a difference between a D60 and a 60D - i know its confusing but the D60 is an early version of a Rebel while a 60D is a very advanced prosumer level camera. The 7D is a little more advanced than the 60D. I've heard good things about both cameras. FOR DENTAL - INTRA-ORAL - PHOTOGRAPHY... A 10D IS ALL YOU REALLY NEED!!!. Anyone telling you any different - is selling you smoke. You can buy a good used 10D for about 250 bucks at KEH.com That means any more modern Rebel or prosumer camera from the 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, or 60D is fine. Its all in what you want to spend and how you are going to use it. Or if your ego won't let you buy anything but the best... then you better be ready to pop for a 1Ds Mark III for arouund 8 grand. A couple years ago, a technician called me with a similar question. he was convinced he had to have the latest greatest camera and was ready to pop for a ton of money at one of the usual suspects when it comes to dental photography. No offense - those guys need to make a profit too - but there just isn't any need to get soaked. You just don't need it! I did an experiment a couple years ago. I shot four images with four different cameras, enlarged and cropped each image to the same size and combined them into one poster sized print. Then I asked people to pick which camera did which image - from the 21megapixel to the 6 megapixel. One guy got them right and he admitted he was guessing - you can't tell the difference in image quality blown up a 100 times and we just don't blow up images that big for any reason in dentistry... unless you're printing a billboard. See if you can pick them out of this lineup...

No real need to pop for the new version of the 100mm either - the older one is a fine piece of glass. Its slower focusing - but its a lot less expensive. When possible - buy used from a trusted source. [ATTACH=full]7771[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
