Hi,
Much as I'd like to say 'glass', in reality, I have found I am more of a body person.
While I love my lenses and have spent significantly more on lenses than I have on bodies, it is primarily the camera body I have to interface with when I'm out shooting.
I am mostly concerned about ergonomics - as long as I have aperture and shutter control and a release, I'm pretty much good feature-wise.
A decent, integrated meter is most useful, and aperture priority is lovely to have on occasion - but I've never been that much into additional features; I've found that I tend to spend as much time tinkering with my camera as I do looking through the finder if I try to use more of the advanced controls.
So - finding a body which rests well in my hands is my #1 consideration. Every lens I own is good enough for the limitations to lie with the photographer (cough), not with the equipment, anyway. (And that does not imply that I only own stellar lenses...
)
