Which was completely off topic...? I don't think so, no. It was simply painting the picture (if you'll excuse the pun). Well the subject isn't OOF, because in the third one the subject is the other photographer... Anyway, good luck finding 'em Ray! :D

Depends entirely on your budget and reason for switching.

Do you think the Leica M3 is the second most used/owned camera then?

Are you? I wouldn't vote for my D7000, it's a great camera but there's many 'better' (and more expensive or less suited to me).

I'd get a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 or a Sigma 8-16 for sub £500 on a crop body.

The F550 and X10 are about as different as compact cameras can be, one is a 16mp 15x superzoom with a 1/2" sensor whereas the other has a larger 2/3" sensor, is 'only' 12mp and a 4x zoom. I really don't think you can even begin to judge the x10 based on that.

Kit that I own? D7000 + Sigma 30mm f1.4 Kit that I want: Or a D700 + 24-70 f2.8.

Whilst I don't have a 24-70 I would generally try to shoot wide open with a fairly quick shutter and as low of an ISO as possible, although anything up to 6400 shouldn't cause an issue with a 5D MkII.

Whilst a great lens I wouldn't want to use one for shooting a band, particularly not on a crop body. It would be far too restrictive.

Bought ;) Great lens however one thing to look out for is that it tends to underexpose by about 1.5 stops on my D7000. So if you're using anything but full manual you might need to set it up to overexpose a bit.

Well, if you want me to take it off your hands ;)

Well it is after 14 hours at Wimbledon, which is the last time I used it properly :p

http://i.imgur.com/I9Y77.jpg Just snapped this to show you what the Sigma 70-200 DG APO HSM is like. 100% crop taken @ 200mm f4, this isn't the sharpest version but it's still pretty good. AF is quick, quiet and generally accurate. The only downside is that they're heavy and you may want more...

Why can't you shoot in full manual on the camera and use the flashes auto exposure?

The Nex 3 I had wasn't exactly huge in comparison and managed to squeeze an APS-c sized sensor in it. I can't see this being very good as it is, although the idea of a smaller sensor could be put to good use. You could have much smaller, faster lenses or telephotos with massive focal lengths...
