What Digital SLR would you buy?

That's how I know I'm getting old. 

Wow, that lady has really nice...camera equipment.

Ok, I know this is a dumb question; what does the "L" designation mean?  I've been doing a lot of shopping for cameras/lenses, and I notice that the lenses that have the "L" are much higher priced.  Are they made by Leica or something?

I believe the "L" stands for Luxury series.  The price is associated with the difference in quality between the L series and anything below the L series.

i have now compared the L series to stuff below and can tell the difference is worth the money

Thanks!  I figured it must be a higher quality item, as the price definitely reflects it.

L stands for expensive.
