I once wanted one, preferably full frame. Now that one may appear that has higher 
resolution than the *ist D, I find that I have reservations. The primary reason is 
that higher resolution will fill up a cf card faster. When I travel, I am already 
constrained by storage capacity. On my recent trip to California I took 3 gb -- enough 
for 212 raw images. (I shoot only in raw, so I hope no one responds about how many 
jpeg images fit on a card). I came home with space for only 20 images. I shot 192 
images in one full day and two afternoons.

Until the price of compact flash comes down, I am not certain that I would try to 
acquire a higher resolution dSLR, even if I could afford one. As we all know, the 
camera itself is only the beginning of the cost.
