Digital camera advice please

Most 'high end' DSLRs now have live view options of varying success. Improving all the time.

As for sensors, they are ridiculously capable now, especially in terms of low light/high iso performance.

This means goodbye to tripods for a lot of carry around lenses, which come with a variety of stabilization options as well. The combination of fast glass and high iso performance is what is revolutionising photography for me.

Being able to shoot HD video is also a neat trick, though dedicated film cameras have the upper hand on usability.

I never paid attention to pixel counts once they reached 12 million or so, my current main cameras are a 12 megapixel D700 and a 24 megapixel D600. I prefer the handling of the D700, it is more tank like than the lighter smaller D600, but the D600 is a great carry around with a short lens.

Lenses make much more difference than most of the £300 to £1000 differential in bodies, in terms of pure photography.

Lots of 'redundant' old glass now being swept up by those in the know.
