nice photo

at Steve's digicams, taken with a Nikon 5700, which is one of the more expensive models, or prosumer as they are sometimes called (I hate that, personally).

I've looked at Nikons before now, but though there's no denying the quality of the lenses and the photgraphs you can take with them, I find the camera controls a bit fiddly. Once everything goes electronic, there's a point at which you just can't be bothered to seek out some of the manual controls, so (if you're me) you tend to leave everything on auto. And if you're going to do that, you might as well buy a Canon or a Minolta as get a Nikon.

The new Leica model with "analogue" manual controls for exposure and even focus seems like the ideal solution, but it's going to cost over 1000 GBP.
