You really weren't kidding when you said that the new stuff was coming soon lol
I did these a while ago and had them up on Oculus (photoblog), but thought I should share them here as well as they really are more photo manipulation than actual photography - albeit, not hugely manipulated, just some filters in PS to give the illusion that they're miniatures..
I have my eyes on the Nikkor 85mm f/2.8 PC Micro tilt shift lens which is about AU$2200
What sort of camera are you using?
I bought a 2nd hand Nikon D50 body which gave me more flexibility in my lens choice. At the moment I have 2 lenses, a 17-70mm, and a 70-300mm, and I plan to get a 10-20mm soonish (funds permitting!).
I've used both Canon and Nikon, and I'm much happier with Nikon - hence that's what I bought. I like the layout of the body better, plus the D50 fitted my hands perfectly.
You can get a good basic setup for $1000-$1500. Check out the new Nikon D40X, Ted's have some great deals with lenses included, or just get the body and find a better quality lens more suited to your style of photography
A friend just got a D80 and I had a bit of fun playing with it, but I've also played with the Canon EOS 400D and it took my breath away. There's a few other brands I'm meaning to take a look at, but I like Canon. My current camera is a Canon (a sub-DSLR) and its been dropped on pavements and in snowpatches all over the world, but still works. I like companies who can make equipment that outlasts my carelessness!
Yes, is personal preference, but I don't think you can go too far wrong whatever you choose.
D80 is a very nice camera, though I'd love the D200.. it's just money that's the issue! Not sure how much you intend to spend..
Ted's is a nationwide camera store.. do you not have one? Google them
