    	Nikon has a few digital models with interchangeable lenses. I
    understand that they introduced a model last year that, while still
    relatively expensive, was quite a bit less than their
    top-of-the-line Pro models. Does anybody here in Orchidland have any
    experience with this model? I'd love to be able to use my Nikon
    lenses on more than my 35mm. I am also wondering if it is possible to
    still use strobe lighting with these cameras. Has anyone using these
    high resolution digital cameras tried producing slides from digital
    images? 

    	I have been using a Sony for a couple of years, and it works great
    for close-up shots that I use for appraisals or for the internet.
    What I don't like about it is that I have to get so close to the
    jewelry just to fill the frame. When I shoot film, I use a 105mm
    macro or a 70-210mm zoom on a bellows and can get back about 18".
    This allows me to control reflections better. Having the film
    digitized is easy and cheap.
