I have been shooting a Nikon for years. I bought the first pro-digital available from Nikon..the D1x. At the time it was a 5,000 dollar investment, and it was only a 5.3 MP camera. But at the time, it had more than 5 times more MP's than most digital cameras on the market. That camera was stolen out of my house...I then bought the D70 and D2H which I brought to Africa with me. The D2H was fast, but had less MP than the D1x....only 4 something, but produced beautiful files. The D70, I still own, and use for my underwater photography....it is a great camera. I then sold the D2H when the D2x came out. I loved the D2x. Just before I took my trip to Nepal a couple of years ago, I dropped the D2x on the hard basketball court when I was shooting a game...it did not make it back in time for my trip to Nepal, so I made a trip to the camera store and picked up the D300 and a couple of new lenses. I have been shooting with the D300 for the past couple of years, and love it. I sold the D2x when it came back from the shop.
Yes, I am a crazy camera freak. Now, Leica just came out with the full frame, 18MP, M9. I am intrigued with the Leica Rangefinders, and have been reading everything on the web that I can find about the M9. I am tired of carrying all the heavy DSLR camera equipment around when I travel. The Leica would fit my style of photography perfectly. I want that camera!! The problem??....whoa, baby....it cost as much as a small car. The leica lenses....truly the best in the world, with truly the most expensive price tags to go with it. So, I will wait....but you know how it is when your REALLY want something??

Scotty, I used to be totally addicted to camera gear. Then I decided to buy a digital. My first and still only digital is a Canon 5D. Love the camera and take it everywhere. I then bought a couple of really good lenses. Which cost more than the camera. and that is it. I love Leica but I have not won the lottery yet. I don't think it matters what you shoot with your images will be great.
Cheers
I totally understand you, cause I've sold my 5D and some lenses and started saving for the M9. I mean, f*ck that, I've been dreaming about it for years now and it's time to go for it. Now I'm only shooting with a backup camera (EP-1) and that's okay. Maybe I have to save for a year or so, my goal is clear: M9. And of course, any camera is okay if you know what the camera is capable of and you know what you are doing, but there's also such a thing as emotion. It's beyond reason.
You know what they're saying - it's not the gear that makes a good shot, but the photographer!! And being scrolling down your blog for the first time I'm deeply impressed! I bet you'll shoot gorgeous photos whatever camera you have in your hands!
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I agree, it is not the equipment that takes a good photo. My main beef with all the stuff I own is that it is just too much stuff. You should see me when I am packing for a trip. I need an assistant to make sure I have everything, and almost every trip I take, I forget something.
Then once I am at my destination, I have to figure out how to carry all the stuff on the streets...what lenses will I need, etc...and it is HEAVY. Going to a restaurant is a pain with a big SLR, tripod, and camera bag. This is what makes the Leica so attractive to me. An extremely high quality camera that I can practically put in my pocket...very low profile, with the highest quality glass that can easily fit in a fanny pack.
Anyway, I am not a rich guy, so I will just dream and save....some day I will have that sweet little camera in my hands...afterall, it is our hobby, right? Why not have the best stuff possible for the thing we love to do?
Agree Scott :) I am saving up too ehehe but still not sure what to buy
