Lenses matter but depends on what you're doing. Let's look into this matter a bit in depth. Are you : 1. Looking to Photograph People 2. Looking to Photograph Wildlife 3. Looking to Photograph Products 4. Looking to Photograph Insects 5. Looking to Photograph Landscapes and Architecture These are the categories i would classify photography into when it comes to DSLR's. If you're not looking at this as a whole and simply want a camera that works when you want it to and is a digital, you should look into the A - Series cameras with Canon or the Sony Cyber Shot Series. Like Brainiac said, Zeiss manufactures lenses for cameras ( i.e. the actual bifocal that sits in a lens of a camera ). In Sony's case however, i believe they manufacture the entire Lens with the Casing, etc. You can not go wrong with a Zeiss manufactured device. I don't want to put you down brother but frankly, to get a DSLR @ 15 - 20K means one of a few things. It could be in a bad state, is malfunctioning, old and not useworthy, is only the body, is *stolen*. The reason i have to say this is that DSLR's are expensive cameras. Bodies can cost up to 3000$, sometimes even more. I am not simply saying this, i have been practicing photography seriously for the past 7 years and my initial investment after taking 2 loans was USD $700. This was about 5 years ago when i moved from a Canon Powershot A-620 to a Canon EOS 400D. So let's take a look at which avenue you want to take with the photography and then can help further. In the meanwhile, i'll keep my eyes peeled for any cam's that come my way. If there's something that's in your bracket, i'll Holla! Rahim. [ Brainiac ] wrote:

Humphrey --
'Carl Zeiss' is a manufacturer of lenses like 'Leica' , 'Canon' or 'Nikon' and not a type of lens.
