Let's say that you won't buy a full-frame within the next two years. But within two years the DSLR market will change a lot and maybe there will be a Pentax full-frame available, then. It's the same with PCs: if you buy a certain PC with the intention to improve it in the future (maybe with a faster CPU), then you will find that these possible improvements will be outdated, soon. The 1Ds of today is no argument to change to Canon if you don't want to buy it today but in two years. Cheers, Heiko
