I am a very beginner and am looking for a modified Canon Dslr with decent resolution...6-10 megapixels.I have a nikon D80 but from my reading on this great site, I probably need a camera with the IR filter taken out. The only ones I see are Canon ie D10 but when I researched a bit, it doesn't have mirror lockup, which is apparently very desirable. Could someone let me know if the lockup is necessary, and if so, how some of the great photos I have seen from the D10 were managed?

Thanks heaps in anticipation
