I was kinda figuring perhaps some smaller brand would make decent camera's with similiar quality. I mean Nikon is one of the big guys with camera's arent they?

Jim, I think you've got the wrong idea here. Cameras are purely functional, yes some are made to look quite snazzy, but ultimately their design is dictated by function. With a B&O TV, you are buying a tv that is much more about design, which is why they cost so much more. You can use the same comparison with many things - clothes/cars/watches etc etc.. why does a pair of Diesel jeans cost at least twice as much as a pair of Levi's?
I really don't think you will find a cheap replacement for a DSLR. But, you can still take great shots with other cams that cost half as much. It's just that for me I really do like having the flexibility of having 4 or 5 lenses to use in different situations.
Don't forget Canon as well. You will be able to pick up cheap secondhand 300D's for what you will probably pay for a decent brand new prosumer digicam. I've never used a Canon DSLR before, but they are easily up there with Nikon.
