Hey all, so I went to my local photo store to check out their cameras and I was given a few ideas and I need you guys help to choose!.
Nikon-
==========
Nikon D40 + macro and fisheye (6!.1 mp doesn't quite cut it, but I would save $ and get a few lenses)
Nikon D80 + macro or fisheye (10!.2 mp is a plus but it lacks the fps burst)
Nikon D200 + no lenses (great camera but pushing $ and no extra lenses)
Canon-
===========
EOS 30D + macro or fisheye (8!.2 mp : / unsure about it)
EOS 40D + no lenses (10!.1 mp is great and I like the sensor cleaning and dust removal but it is really pushing budget)
Thanks so much for your help and do you think this offer is a hoax or is it believable!? It seems to good to be true!.

Ans as a general rule, invest in lenses and economize on the body!. I don't know a lot of people that really *need* 5 frames per second for doing macro photography!.
Perhaps just get a body with the kit lens and try that for a while!. You can always add a dedicated macro and a fish-eye later!. These are both specialty lenses that you′d probably only use for 5% of your shots!. Once you get started with the kit lens, you might find that you′d rather get an external flash or a tripod or something else first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
