@JohnCavan (and anyone else)... note that photo.stackexchange.com/questions/30449/… looks like a typical "I don't understand how this site works!" comment, but is actually just paid link spam. See apple.stackexchange.com/questions/51341/… and don't be surprised to see more from same user.

Hey all, a question just came in on GraphicDesign that I think you all might know the answer too - or even have the question already. I've only played with HRD a few times and not sure any of our other regulars have touched photography before

Hey, I just wanted to say that this is easily the most friendly and helpful stackexchange I've participated in. Thank you all!

So I have an equipment question, in particular I'm looking at getting a digital camera. I've narrowed it down to two. I know what I shoot, my budget, and the guts of the two cameras. Everything seems cut and dry to me, but I want to ask the community if there is something I've missed in my evaluation. Is that an appropriate question for the community or will it be closed like almost every other camera recommendation question?
