I use a Sony F707. I used to use a Nikon 995 which was the flagship in 2000 for the Nikon line. I just sold it on ebay last week for $500CDN. Next camera should be maybe the F828 8 megapixel.
If you want a good DSLR get the Nikon D100 or look at the new Canon Digital Rebel (300D). Try ebay, the prices there are great, even if the camera is a bit used. BTW: If your going to be buying the Rebel for real photograph as a hobby, just get the body since the lens in the kit is useless unless your just taking pics of the family.
If you need some help just send me an email and I will answer your questions. I am really good with Digital Photography.
terenz, since your in Vancouver, maybe try Vistek(I believe they have a location there and in Toronto). I bought my Nikon there as well as my accessories for my other cams.
