I am selling my SLR ELAN IIE and going digital. I have about 1000 to spend. I want to go with a camera that I can take professional quality photos with and also will need to get accesories for like Macro lenses and FD filters etc. I have looked extensively at the G2 and G3. Does anyone have any other options they would recommend for a proffesional output from a camera in my price range? Thanks so much, just want to know what others think.

Go to DPReview and check out the models and the reviews...

I'm partial to my Sony F707. It has just been replaced by the 717. Both are excellent cameras and I would put my 707 up against the G2 or G3 anyday... The 717 sells for $999. If you can find the 707, you will get it for a steal since it has just been discontinued.

Macro capabilites are phenomenal and the lens accepts 58mm filters with no adapter...

John I was going to ask you about your F707 and your feelings on it vs. getting a SLR such as a EOS D60. I might upgrade and the F707 is selling for about a grand Canadian up here 'while supplies last'. I'm considering upgrading but wonder if it's not enough of a step from my S50 and would find myself wanting more in the future.

I've had my G2 for five months and I have absolutely no regrets. It takes great pictures and it's compact enough to fit in a small camera bag. Of course I'm itching to get a Canon D60, but that's just normal.

Yeah, there's just something about that silky, noiseless D30 and D60 image. I might not be happy with something less...
