I am talking professional camera equipment. I was looking at a media (local news quality) HDcamera for 50,000$. Additional lenses cost around 10,000$. (camera as in video) I own a Nikon D80. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d80/vs-d200.htm It is 95% the camera a D200 is, which is almost as good as a D2x... And to top that you are looking at spending over 20,000$ for your body. D80 = 999.99 D200 = 1,699.99 D2x = 4,999.99 The lens I am planning on getting this summer will put me out 750$. Go read up on KenRockwell about cameras. (link above) And see how he does some stuff. A 35mm 50iso film is about 30mp. A 35mm 800iso, or higher is more like 5mp. By far the most imporant part is the lens. I can tell a BIG diffrence between a 3mp picture with a good lens... and a 10mp point and shoot crap image. The photographer is the most imporant. a 10mp camera with a crap lens... gives a crap picture. a 3mp camera with a KILLER AWOSOME lens... gives GREAT pictures. (what I mean by that is on a 4x6 picture... the 3mp good lens, takes better pictures than the 10mp crap lens) Printing a 8x10 the 10mp would have a equal picture, if you run the 3mp picture through a good image upsampler. I dont talk about consumer BS. I am looking into spending close to 3,000$ on equipment this year. a 1080p TV is ~3.5mp. I don't think the old starwars have better image quality. Can you send me a link? or something to make me think otherwise?
