I am searching for a good SLR camera and the necessary lenses to take
some quality shots on an long trip this summer. Having used a high
quality point and shoot camera for many years (they're so darn light
and easy) I am unfamiliar with many aspects of SLR cameras.  I am
wanting to buy a good to high quality SLR and prefer minimal
electronics.  Now I know there are paddlers out there with strong
opinions on the camera body and lenses of choice.  Most of my
photography is landscape work with occasional close ups of sea stars
or funny looking humans.  I am open to all suggestions and thoughts.
Nikon? Canon? Pentax? This is a black hole topic and so I am
especially interested in specific "I've used this camera for years and
love it" suggestions.  Thanks for whatever feedback you offer.
