Do all of the above convey exactly the same idea to you? Thanks.

Angli,

I don't think that they all convey the exact same idea.

1) This camera will cost at least ten thousand dollars.
> I don't know the price, vague, could even be fifteen thousand dollars.

2) This camera will cost not less than ten thousand dollars.
> But it is not unlikely that you'll find it for about ten thousand.

3) This camera will cost no less than ten thousand dollars.
> But you can buy it for ten thousand (not a penny less, though).

It would be difficult to distinguish between 2 and 3, although I would rather use 3 than 2.

Regards,

Thomas
