Thanks guys,
well I do have an offer for trade in my old cam for

canon 1000 D body only -aprox 500 USD
canon 450 D body only - aprox 745 USD
canon 500 D body only - aprox 1100 USD

best prices OTC in the whole country w/warranty online and best prices in Bucharest as pro stores go, not too much offer here
there would be some stuff on black market but no warranties

unfortunately I can't afford 500D

I do already have lenses, presumably it fit 
I'm not good with all this stuff so can't figure it out what's better to start with
1000 D or 450 D

Thanks again

Instead of getting yet another Canon, why not get the Lumix GH1
the first DSLR camera that will video better than any other DSLR . 1080p 24fps , 720p 60fps, in HDTV Stereo , with continuous focusing. Lumix uses Leica lenses so it blows away the competition in that optical grounds too.  The other DSLR that can do videos even the top names cannot do even close to this bugger.

I do not subscribe to the problem of not so many lenses to select. Any professional will tell you he/she  only uses a selection not buy all 60 or 200 different lenses . So the argument that XXX camera has less lenses than Nikon and Canon or Pentax or Sony, is moot.

Why I suggested this, is that you already have all you need for still stock photos. With Lumix GH1 you have the edge over any one else to do video for stock.
Just an out of the box idea .

Thank you,
it's a good idea surely not for me
1. I can't make good movies , I don't have the patience for it, I get annoyed
2. I just checked prices, it seems over my budget.

When I was using Inkscape I don't remember there being a whole lot of problems saving the file as .eps.  Inkscape defaults to .svg but there is an option to save .eps.  I then imported that .eps into photoshop and rasterized it.

Regarding the opacity, are you talking about gradients?  The Inkscape gradients do not translate to jpegs for some reason so if you're planning on selling the files on microstock you need to avoid using gradients and transparencies. 

You can fake a gradient by drawing two boxes of different colors and then blending them using the interpolate tool.

I didn't say I have a problem saving the file as an eps vector. That's easy.
well , I'm just trying to find a way in Inkscape to make that eps file I'm saving look like the svg or the rasterized image I'm exporting from svg using Inkscape. Can you help me with this please ?
Thank you

Regarding what you mentioned above about opacity and gradients, I have noticed in Inkscape are two different things. I don't know what you working with right now, but is it the same thing in your software ?

Thank you all for trying

Once you rasterize a file, you cannot turn around and make it a vector file again.

you're definitely right, this makes me think I didn't say it quite right, though to be more precise you can turn it back as far as I read by tracing that image
What I'm interested is when I save my svg as an eps what can I do in order to get that eps file looking same way as the svg file and of course the  raster file that was exported from the svg file.
Can you help me please ?

Thank you
