Scanning is a pain in the butt, but I've decided to pass on the *istD. I will wait for 2 or 3 generations. By then they'll have a terrific camera that will be more affordable. Ideally I would like to wait for a full-frame sensor because I like to shoot a lot of wide angle. In the meantime, I've gotten a Canon Powershot. It has enough advanced features to keep me happy until a DSLR comes out that has the right combination of price and features.
