Tx for the tip - I'm going to buy something new soon. Been looking at the high-end jobs. I want something I can swap lense with, if possible something that will accept my current large collection of. I might be wishing the impossible, and the manufactures aren't interested in meeting that need I fear.

While the Olympus C 4040 is the best digital camera I've tried for long exposures, there are only three add-on lenses made for it. However, there are some digital SLR cameras which will take any lense you could put on an SLR camera. Of course, expect to pay more for these digital cameras. Also, when you buy it try taking a 16 second exposure of a very dark area. Ideally, the camera will be secured to the demo stand with a cable, and there will be a large hole where the cable goes in. Stick the lense down there and take a good long exposure. That's a great way to check for noise in the resultant picture.

I wish I had a 4040... I could make some really great looking "ghost" pictures that don't have digital noise in them.
