Are there any places where they rent out DSLR's? I'd like to test drive a few -- They are expensive and want the right upgrade.
I don't know of anywhere in Portland, but I've used Borrowlenses.com a couple of times and never had any problems. Even with shipping their prices were a lot better than anywhere here in San Diego. And I think they have an affiliation with some shop in Portland where you can pick up/drop off the gear. What do you shoot with now? I have a Nikon D40x, but really want to upgrade. I really want full frame, but I can't really justify spending that much since I don't shoot all that much. I don't have all that much invested in lenses yet (18-55 kit, 35mm, 55-200 and a 60mm macro) so I'm not tied down to the Nikon system just yet.
::bump:: Over the weeks I've changed my mind and want to try something totally different: 3rd Gen SLR's I think it'll be fun. Mirrorless, oldschool 35MM film cameras. I'm looking into the Pentax K1000; affordable and Ken Rockwell, whom I have a lot of respect for when it comes to cameras, totally raves about this model. I've never developed my own film but look forward to it!
